Washington listen up!!!

I'm not a political person.  I can not stand it when my husband is watching those news shows where the "experts" are arguing over this or that and what was meant and what the ramifications will be if person A does this to person B.  I could care less.  I hate drama.  I hate arguing.  I apparently hate government.

I don't though, that's just it.  I love the foundation by which our country was built on.  I love the people that make up our country.  I am humbled by those men and women that sacrifice each and every day to make sure that our freedoms are protected.

Today I went to a Veteran's day program at my children's school.  I sat there with tear filled eyes at things like the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner.  I am proud to be an American.  I am thankful for the many freedoms that are afforded me because of all the men and women who for centuries have been making decisions that are for the good of our fine country.

So, that leads me to what's wrong now?  Our forefathers have argued since day one over what is right and what is best for our country.  What is different now that they can't come to a conclusion?  I think it is time for our officials to reboot.

My suggestion would be for all of our Congressmen and Senators to go home.  Go home and talk to your people.  Not the business leaders with deep pockets or the local government.  I mean go home and talk to the Veterans, the school teachers, the nurses, the volunteer coaches, the person that works a full time job and volunteers in the community the hours of a full time job.  Talk to the people who are having to take your policies and make them work and ask them what the kinks are.  Ask them what would work better, and then go back to Washington and fight for that.

I sat in that Veteran's program knowing that America will be okay, because while the decisions that higher government is making could harm us it won't change who we are.  We are a helping hand, we are a pat on the back, we are a lifeline, and while just like anything else we have our bad spots you can't dwell on that.  Corruption, greed, and selfishness are all going to rear their ugly head in Washington.  Put on the armor of what is good and stay strong fighting for what is right for the next 200  years and beyond.

God Bless America!
