No Longer "WE the PEOPLE"

Now that the municipal elections are over one would think we could take some well deserved political time off. Well we can't.  On November 4, 2014 we will have a chance to re-gain "WE the PEOPLE" and we need to start this process now.  It is my belief that those sent to higher political office have failed in their sworn duty, which is to represent us.  This never happens.  Once in office everything changes for all they worry about is their power, making more money, their ego's, their special interest groups and that all important next election.

Just look at the total dysfunction currently in D.C.. That so called "shut down" was a joke and didn't have to happen.  Nothing more then scare tactics orchestrated by the POTUS and the leadership of the Senate.  Scare tactics and power, plain and simple.  By the way it will happen again come January.

Just look at Obamacare.  Remember all the nice promises such as you can keep your current policy, keep seeing the doctor of choice and same overage.  How's that working for you?  People getting dropped left and right.  A hospital in Washington State that specializes in the care of children was recently notified they were being dropped from any insurance payments for they charge to much per the A.C.A..  The only way the A.C.A will pay if the parents can prove it is the only place that can provide care required otherwise they need to go to a less specialized hospital. Way to go!  I have a close friend whose husband has cancer and was covered under the State's Husky program.  Guess what, they get a letter advising he was being dropped and to go into A.C.A coverage.  Forget the liberal politicians and main stream media pushing this as the next best thing since sliced bread.  Not only will this bankrupted an already broke country it will most likely be responsible for the untold deaths.  FYI, those in Congress don't have to worry about the A.C.A because they are "special people".

Immigration reform is the next thing the Great One wants to tackle.  It didn't work in 1986 when Congress passed reforms and there was only an estimated 3 million illegals in the country.  Promised amnesty didn't work, the southern border was never secured and business's still hired illegals.  So what makes the liberal left think any new reform bill will  work and now we have over 11 million illegals living here.  Folks, this is nothing more then getting future registered democratic voters.

"We the People" will have a chance to correct this problem come next November.  Let's see if you are as angry as I am and remove those from office that are slowly destroying this country.  Yes, we can do something about it.  We need to put the power back in the hands of the people and get the hands of the professional politicians out of our pockets.  The time to start is now and the clock is ticking
