I begin to join the fight...

I have been silently watching events in this country since my political awakening in 2000. Many people believe we are losing the battle. Many have given up, and even more simply don't care. I join this war of the words today because I believe that we are on the edge of regaining more of the liberty we had when this country was new. The American People have more resources than ever before to gain access to information and understanding. As the internet grows and more Americans gain access to that huge store of knowledge we also gain more control of our lives.

Many will say I am hopelessly optimistic. I will tell you that the Socialists, Liberals, and Progressives are more shrill than ever. This gives me the optimism I am expressing. These people have discredited ideas, and emotional/narcissistic motivations. Information and facts are to them what garlic and holy water are to Vampires. The availability of information today is accelerating the effects of their policies. We are seeing a repeat of the policies of FDR at 4X speed.

We the American People must continue to press our elected officials. Make them realize that they serve us, not the other way around. We must seek knowledge in order to keep our Republic. We must not sacrifice our liberties for security and give our congress an opportunity to repeat the fall of Rome.
