Fight fire with fire

Big money and special interests certainly have their voices heard, but what about us?  you write your senator, congressman or woman and you get a nice form letter back thanking you for your input.

The big boys get their pet projects put in front of the proper people by throwing money and favors at the people they want to impress.

Although we pay taxes, we have no control over what or where those hard earned tax dollars go to.
It may be time to form a citizens coalition that we can use to put our everyday and pressing problems front and center before those who have the power to do something positive about them.

You already have coalitions formed by groups like the Black caucus, the Hispanic caucus, a very power lobbying group representing the LGBT community.  You even have groups who are pushing the issue of legalizing illegal aliens who broke the laws of our country to come here.

Do you see anyone missing from that group?  Well it all of those hard working taxpayers who get up every day go to a job they may or may not want to go to.  They pay their bills, take care of their families, and do all the right things.  You will never hear most of them complain, but they are victims just like the rest because their voices have been drowned out by those who wave big money in the faces of the powers that be.

I'm sure Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin would go ballistic if they were to come back today and see how the county they helping create has been turned into a den of thieves.  We have the IRS who is supposed to be responsible for collecting and distributing the tax revenues for all of us.  They have lost billions and billions of dollars that can't be accounted for.

This can no longer stand.  The debt clock setting at 19 trillion and change will consume your child and your grand children if something is not done.  It may be time to ring the bell of freedom once again and fight the Tirane coming from the very body who was created to destroy it.
