This must go no further. The people that we send to represent us must be challenged into understanding that they work for us and not for the US Mint.  We the people of this once great country must stand up and become accountable to ourselves.  We can no longer let the officials we send to DC make fools of us.  No more social entitlement programs, fix medicare and social security.  These programs are not self funding.  Stop robbing Peter to pay Paul.  Keep your fingers out of programs you have no clue about.

Keep Barney Frank and Chris Dodd away from Giving homes to people who cannot afford them.  Stop making decisions on military cuts when Freddie and Fannie are bankrupt.  Fix what you have broken before breaking something else.  We cannot be the savior of the world through the International Monetary Fund.  Please allow the people to make these decisions.  It is painfully obvious that the elected employees are unable to.  These people are about to learn what the Tea Party Candidates can do.

I am not aware of any American Citizen that has time to completely monitor every move our elected representative make. The only problem with this situation is that these officials also know this.  This to them is a license to steal.  We are all busy with our everyday lives and have little time to read about every move these people make.  The occupants of the White House and Halls of Congress have sold their souls to special interest groups and large monetary contributors.  What the citizens want and need is no longer important to the people we send to Washington DC to protect our interests.  Reelection issues and fund raising take up a majority of their time.

We as citizens must stop this madness. There must be term limits and monitoring by the people.  The government is not there to provide social programs and entitlements. They are there to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic. The problem that has festered for a long time is that enemy is now more domestic than foreign.  Socialism is word we all must fear. We must no longer turn our backs on the promoters of social justice and communism.  Go ahead and laugh it off.  But when the government comes to your door and says they are here to help.  They will be there to help themselves to your property and tax money.  Each and every one of you can argue between your political parties but it will come to no avail.  After all the best plan by any enemy is to divide and conquer.

Warren K. Milliman -  American Citizen not Subject

Congress still seems to believe they are the power and you and I are working for them. They may be right since we keep working (those who still have jobs) to pay for all the wish lists these people can come up with.

We have an election coming up in 2010, and it is time for the voting citizens of this country to sit down and take a look at who is running. We cannot have another election like this last one. Know your candidate ahead of time. Get your butt up off the couch and get involved.

Apathy among voters has put us in an untenable position, that we have to live with for the next three years. However, if you get out and vote this time and pick people you have spent time studying and learning their politics, we should at least have a safety net, which we do not have right now, with the Democrats holding both the House and the Senate.  Thank God for Blue Dog Democrats, who have held the line so far.

You must pay attention to both the state elections and federal. We must have people running our states who understand, business and the need for it, who understand state rights, and the need for it.

Voting is a privilege that so many people in the world would given their lives to have, but here we just like to complain, instead of making the change. Stand up and fight for whats left of our great country, because the far left is trying very hard to tear it down and make it something that none of us want to live in.

The election of Barack Obama has polarized our country. Not because we finally elected a half black man to the Presidency, but because his politics are from the Progressive Democrats, or, far left.

As we wait to see the outcome of this administrations decision on Afganistan, health care, and the economy, the discourse has become beyond rude, and to the point of antagonistic.

We are already talking about the 2010 elections. What I have found that brings out the left to vote, is the government offering to give them something, and what brings the right out, is the government threatening to take something away.

So lets have some good conversation about the problems facing our country today.

Come on in, and sit awhile.

Republicans, Democrats, and Independents are all welcome to express their views. We will not accept any disprespectful or vulgar remarks about or from any poster. You are welcome to discuss any politcal issue, family issue, or current event issue you wish.

Keep in mind that we are all Americans and have one common bond. That common bond is our Great Nation and our right to have a say in how it is run on a daily basis.
