Political Activism

This week i found myself particularly angry at how politicians were calculating moves and votes and what to do next, not because it would be better for the country but because it would be better for their re-election campaigns.

This calculating and manipulating is nothing new from are supposed leaders, but when as it usually does, attributes to nothing getting done, new laws that amount to minimal changes to old ones, and stalemate.

So what do we do? Do we get all KKKrazy and march with the tea party putting new calculating manipulating people in office?

Well, unfortunately yes!

We fight to put 2008 Obama like people in office that have a fire for change. But we must learn that getting fired up over a politician and putting our full support behind them isn't just a one time thing. We must hold our leaders ACCOUNTABLE!

We must make ask ourselves first, "Even if it hurts is it the best thing for the country?" (Letting the tax cuts expire)

and let our elected officials know how we feel because i we don't we then forfeit our chance to effect the change that we want.

Think about that!
