While our people in the military are fighting and dying to preserve our freedoms in this country, those same freedoms are being eroded, eaten away by the very politicians,Democrats and Republicans alike, that you have either voted for or sat idlely by while they gained office that are supposedly there to safeguard Our Nation. They are padding their pockets and paving their futures while allowing lobbyists and special interest groups to steamroll over any hopes you may have for a brighter future. Allowing big business to up their prices while you are on the bottom, and taxing (even while giving lip service to fewer taxes), SPEAK UP PEOPLE!! If you don't, you MAY lose the right to voice your opinion, as you have already lost your rights in in certain matters of choice. This country is supposed to be governed of,by and for the people. Keep sitting back and waiting for things to get better, or make efforts to CAUSE things to get better!! Or they may get so bad that you have no say about anything. Think it can't happen? Are you compelled by LAW to protect yourself with a seat belt each time you drive? Just one example.....
