A Word of Thanks to You!

It's almost impossible to know what's going to come from these fingers each morning as I sit at the keyboard. Somehow a coherent product ends up on the blog. Today I'd like to take my time to thank you, we started with nothing and now we've grown. It's impressive how quickly the word gets around to like minded people.From a simple venting of opinion grew a network of information, fueled and supplied many times by you the reader. There is always something timely and informative in my e-mail everyday supplied by the watchdogs who read this commentary. Thank you for those contributions!

There is no shortage of questionable topics to discuss recently. It's vital we stay informed, and even more important we check our sources, twice. Nothing discredits a cause, like spreading misinformation, just look at Washington! Show both sides accurately, people are able to make up their own minds when presented with a clear set of facts. Know what you believe and why you believe it. This will require you stay informed and read. Opposing opinion likes to discredit you with confusion, so stay on topic and know it inside and out. Knowledge applied is power. Never back down on your principles.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but get involved! It's not just Washington that is out of control, there are issues right outside your front door in local government. Apathy is a major cause of the mess in DC right now, many of those politicians began at the local level. Hold those people accountable and stop this cancer where it is born. First you get yourself right, then your family, then your neighborhood, then your state, then your country, then the world. It all begins with you.One person can make a difference.

We have affected change,(I've grown to dislike that word), our voices joined together have made a difference. The public option for health care is all but scrapped. The "rat out your neighbor" web site has been dismantled. John Q Public needs to stay involved, stay vocal and continue the pressure and the momentum created in the "one voice" of disapproval we've raised in the town hall meetings. The administration has tried to dismiss us, yet we were heard. Soon the "Tea Party" dissent will be realized by our elected officials. We are "mad as hell" and want our liberty back!

I'm proud of each and everyone of you! Thanks for fighting for our freedom. I want my America back!

God Bless
