You Can't Fix Stupid, But You Can Vote It Out

I would gladly give credit for the above slogan to whom credit is due, but frankly I am not sure who that would be. But the point is more important anyway. We have a chance to make our voices heard soon. In fact, if we are really upset with the current Administration and Congress, we have an OBLIGATION to do something about it.

I strongly urge everyone who is in fear for the very fabric of this nation to get to the polls in November. Off-year elections typically have much lower voter turn out than presidential elections. We must make 2010 the exception...We MUST! Do not vote for the name you recognize or that you hear the most on TV. Do your homework THEN vote on the person who will truly represent you.

How does all this relate to the slogan?

Well, simply put..."STUPID" is in control of Congress as we speak. Have your senator and congressmen been in office year after year? If so, have these people really represented you? Really? If you are satisfied with your politicians, read no further. If you, on the other hand, you want change NOW, then you know what you have to do. VOTE

By the way, do not trust party "labels." As far as those who have been in office for years, for decades, are concerned, there is no difference, for the most part, in the platforms of those who claim to be Democrats, and those who claim to be Republicans. When all of us can understand this, then, and only then, can we truly open the way back to a government that is "of the people, by the people, AND FOR THE PEOPLE!"

In case you have not noticed yet, the current Congress does not represent the majority of the people nor do they show the least concern for what you and I, "average" Americans, want and need from our government. Did you want or ask for bailouts of the auto industry? Did you fear for the livelihood of the poor bankers and ask for a bailout of the financial industry? Were you afraid that the minions on Wall Street would starve, so they needed a bailout too?

I truly doubt that anyone of you supported any of these programs when they were shoved down our throats. So please, look around. Take a good look at who is in office now. Do a little research on your senator and congressmen. It is easy...they put all this on their own websites. Many of them are crowing right along with President Obama about all these great programs and the "recovery" our nation is currently undergoing (in a really subtle way, apparently). How did your representatives vote on these issues? If you are upset and disappointed with your representation, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

And, don't let the passing of time dim your memory! November is just a few weeks away.

I urge you to join me as we VOTE STUPID OUT OF OFFICE!
