We the
people…
The
Constitution of The United States of America spells out in the first line
where the power of our great democracy lies. Unfortunately we the people
have allowed the power to slip away to special interest, lobbyist,
corporations and career politicians. It is time to reclaim our democracy
from the people that are destroying it. Thomas Jefferson said that “All
tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to
remain silent” now is the time for all people to be heard.
The framers of our democracy did not intend our representatives be career
politicians. They foresaw the danger in this. The constitution states that
“The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year.” The framers
intent was for our democracy to be governed by everyday people not career
politicians for obvious reasons. Legislators would meet enact laws and go
back to their chosen profession. Career politicians will do and say
anything to keep their power. Power corrupts even those with the best
intentions.

“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of
the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.”
Thomas Jefferson. |
Jefferson understood that “experience hath shown, that even under the best
forms of government those entrusted with power, in time, and by slow
operations, perverted it into tyranny.” The framers had no fear that the
result of their experiment would be that men may be trusted to govern
themselves without a master. Unfortunately today’s politician does have a
“master”. This master is the special interest, corporations and lobbyists
that are destroying our country. Ronald Reagan once said “It has been said
that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it
bears a striking resemblance to the first”. We need to get politics as
usual out of government and start to tell our leaders to GIVE BACK
CONGRESS.
 In the Gettysburg address, Abraham Lincoln said “and that government of
the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the
earth.” The people choose their leaders. Unfortunately the people that are
voting are not well enough informed to choose leaders that will change the
status quo. Thomas Jefferson said “ Educate and inform the whole mass of
the people…they are the only sure reliance from the preservation of our
liberty”.
FDR said that “the only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government
strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong
enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the
government”. FDR further stated that “ nobody will ever deprive the
American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves
and the only way they could do this is by not voting”. Let us never forget
that government was not meant to be a power over us. The ultimate rulers
of our democracy are not the President, Senators, Congressman or
Government Officials, but the voters of this country.
It does not matter if we vote Democrat, Republican or Independent. We have
seen Congress change power 3 times since 1994. Each time we were promised
that the ways of old were over. We were told that the new party in power
would return the power to the people and get rid of the status quo in
Washington DC. We were promised solutions to the health care crisis,
social security crisis, taxation, inflation and the deficit. In fact these
were the same problems we spoke about in the 1960’s. They are still not
fixed. WHY? Because the special interest, lobbyist and corporations have a
stranglehold on our career politicians. The special interest, lobbyist,
and corporations do not care which party is in power because there are
enough career politicians in both parties willing to take their money and
perks to look the other way. Thomas Jefferson said “Whenever a man has
cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct”. We
must tell our leaders enough is enough…GIVE BACK CONGRESS.
The day that "politician" became a career choice is the
day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back!

The company is the United States Congress. Consisting of 435 Congress
people and 100 Senators.
These are the very same people that we trust to make
decisions that affect our freedom, daily lives and most importantly our
nation’s security.
Is it any wonder that none of the people’s business is
attended too!
We MUST throw them all out of office. Do
it one member at a time. Do not vote for any incumbents.
GIVE BACK CONGRESS TO THE PEOPLE!
