In the United States of America, it is our right and our duty to let our wants and need known to our political representatives. And as our representatives, it is their responsibility to listen and relay those wants and needs to the leaders in Washington.
There are a lot of pundits commenting on the Senatorial race in Massechusets today. Typically this state votes Democratic, or at least liberal. Tonight, however, Scott Brown, (R) won over Martha Coakley,(D)even after President Obama went and promoted her.
I think that the main topic hit upon over and over again has been that the people feel like they aren't being listened to. In this very blue state, the voting isn't so much for Brown or agains Coakley as it has been a message to politicians in Washington, that ,"they don't like what is going on!"
In events like the Tea Parties and ralleys being held, the American people just wanted to be heard...instead they were ridiculed and called names. But until the messages are received..."we don't like the Health Care Bill, "we don't want any more spending," we don't want deals made behind closed doors, "and we don't want special treatment for some, that will have to be paid for by others." And finally,"You politicians in Washington are there because, we, the people, put you there to represent us...not to run over us." This turn of events will continue to occur. Messages will continue to be sent, until President Obama, Reid and Polosi "get it".
As I have said from the beginning, here is a place to be heard. Comment...add your two cents worth! If enough of us get talking...there will bw a loud noise that won't be ignored.
