American politics – a failing system?
What has happened to the American Spirit? For the past 40+ years, we have elected what are known as our Representatives to Congress who are sworn to uphold the Constitution and protect America from all foreign and domestic enemies. They are also supposed to represent their constituents in their state.
When was the last time your Representative actually represented you? The sad truth is they (Federal, State, and Local Representatives) don’t care about what you want. What they care about are POWER and PARTY!! They only want to hear from you when they need your vote.
You are only an end to their means. Both Republicans and Democrats put “Party” above the American people, even above our country. If they want to stay in Congress and get re-elected year after year, they have to tow the Party lines.
Do you really think politicians want what’s best for you or America? Wake up people, they want what is best for them and how to keep their job. They spend millions of dollars running for an office that pays about $170,000+ per year. Where do they get that kind of money to run for office? Not from the people they say they want to represent; they get it from big-money people who want to have a member of Congress in their pocket who will vote the way they want, or they can kiss their re-election good-by. Have you ever heard of a member of Congress leaving Congress with less money than when they were elected? Most of them come out as multi-millionaires.
Is this the government, our Founding Fathers envisioned for us?? It’s time to take America back. We need to throw everyone who is in the office OUT, and then in two years, whoever is in the office, throw them out again and keep doing it until they realize they work for us!! Congress was never meant to be a career. It’s time we go back to the future and elect men and women who believe in the Constitution and what it stands for. We need to restore family values and stop the government from interfering in our lives; that’s not their job! Their job is to uphold and defend the constitution!! – WAKE UP AMERICA while there is still time …
