An Open Letter To The New Congress

The last year has been one of the most intense yet exciting time in American political history at least in my lifetime. America is in turmoil and the members of Congress for years have been at the root of all our problems. Most recently under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi the last 111th Congress has done the most damage to say the least. We as a nation faced an economic crisis that was without a doubt a depression even though they would not admit that’s what it was. Members of our family, friends, and co-workers lost their homes…they lost their jobs…to many Americans the term struggling to make ends meet had new meaning. We say stable corporate giants and fail-safe banking institutions begin to crumble. For years we let greed over take common sense and now it came back to bite us in the behind. So the progressive machine pushed their agenda through causing more damage than good by using tax dollars that we didn’t have to bail these banks and corporations out. Then while Americans sat in front of the television sets each night and watched the news they saw the markets fall day in and day out and unemployment numbers rise! So what did our progressive know it all leaders do? They decided to push through their socialized medicine bill instead of learning from history on how to get Americans back to work and the economy stable. They pushed it through using the late Ted Kennedy as the progressive’s patron saint of the bill I still say if they would have left it well enough alone we still would have had problems, but possibly by now we would have seen light at the end of the tunnel. I digress.
I could go on and on, but you know the story all to well. We were too self absorbed in our lives to really care about politics like we should have. We were brainwashed in a sense that we were not the caretakers of the Republic like our Founding Fathers intended. The progressive socialistic machine has been hard at work in this country going strong for well over a hundred years if not more and now they have taken us almost to the cliff’s edge. However through the TEA parties and 9/12 groups that took root in America around the end of 2008 to the start of 2009 the majority has opened their eyes and have taken the steps to reclaim our rightful place as “We The People”. Some battles have been won, but the war is far from over. This past November we have seen a political change unlike anything we’ve seen before. Million of more Americans who may have just voted before actually got involved in the process. We researched and listened and backed who we thought were the right candidates. Some of them made it in with great upsets while others didn’t. Regardless we have a new Congress. Very soon they are taking their oaths to uphold the Constitution and will start trying to get this country back on track. It will be a tough fight to say the least.
So I am talking directly to our new Congress members now. This country is broken and “We The People” expect you to put us back on the right track. We know it will not be easy and we know that what you can accomplish will have little impact at first. However if you stay true to your campaign promises and the principles and values that you claimed you had that made us vote you in you will be all right. Remember as long as you stay true to the Constitution and do what “We The People” elected you to do we have your back all the way. Do not bend to the political game. Do not bend to the pressure. Remember the role of the legislative branch in our three branches of government. Restore the power back to the people, cut the spending, put the progressive machine back in it’s place, and preserve and protect the Constitution. I know it seems a lot because quite simply it is, but again you are not in this alone you have us. Do not let us down. There is more at stake then maybe more people realize. We have faith in you…the future of America is in your hands.
