What happened to America?

What is going on? More money to AIG, Pelosi wants a few more billion for another stimulus package, Congress wants to make sure that anything that passes has some pork for them.

Does anyone remember our history? The true patriots who believed in the ideal of this country and put the country before themselves? Sure we always had the greedy and the opportunists, but we were fortunate to have real patriots. Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Knox, not top mention all the common men and women who went forward to serve their country, not asking for any reward.

Now a days we only see that kind of commitment and dedication in the men and women of our military. Our politicians are a bunch of crooks. They had to add on billions in pork before they would vote for the bail out bill. As long as their trough is full, they could care less about the rest of us.

It is evident that Congress has no sense of what is happening. If they did, they would give up their fancy medical coverage and take a policy like the rest of working America, with deductibles and restrictions. If they cared, they would start brown bagging it at lunch time and close their fancy restaurant with the agreeable prices for members of Congress. If Congress cared they would start prosecuting the CEO's and banks who brought on this crisis, rather than kissing their butts.

Let's face it, Congress no longer represents the people, they represent whoever will take care of them best.

Vote out the incumbents. Invite those who love and want to serve with no reward to come and lead us during these coming years of crisis. The time for change is now. Let's start with a whole new face on Capital Hill.

Its Common sense.
