TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE HOW YOU FEEL!

 Truthfully, I cheer the people's revolt in the North African countries.  People deserve to be happy, secure, and independent. They trust thier leaders will ensure that they are able to reach these goals.  Anything less can be considered treasonous to the people of the land.  So North Africans stood up and say "enough".. Good for them!

  I heard media and associates say "This could destabilize the area."  I thought "Really? You are more worried how this will affect your gas prices vice the welfare of a people?  That was a wow moment if there ever was one.

  OK, so now the Governor in Wisconsin has decided he will be the poster person for either (a). Crazy people in power (which there seems to be a lot of these days),  (b). Alpha Male run amok or  (c). Cold hearted creature that slipped into our realm/dimension/planet (making him the real Illegal Alien). I was surprised to see the people in Wisconsin create an Egypt situation in the middle of the country.  Actually, I was impressed.  I didn't think the US had it in them to peacefully protest an outrage of thier own making.  Shoot, they either elected him, either way.  Wisconsin?  The people in the heartlands?  The people who Republicans say hate government?  Hell, if they do, I now understand why.  Jeez!  You ask for concessions, they give you the concessions, and you decided to destroy the means by which you were granted the concessions?  WOW!  Um, Governor, you may have forgotten, but you are a public worker.  Will you now be subject to the rules you put into place?

  To see people put thier lives on the line in other countries to get a boot off of their neck is something to watch with awe and wonder. It is not to be belittled, nor gloss over because it's not in your back yard. The people of Wisconsin said "Oh, Hell Nah" when the Governor had a moment, and ran to the state house to be heard. And heard they have been!  They realized what a lot us have not yet. 

o if your state or national representative is not representing you, make them know it! You voted to have some one represent you and do not forget that you pay taxes. If this was put in private company terms, you are a share holder in your State and US, and your reps are your designated mouth pieces at the table. Designated is the key word in the last sentence, These people were elected by the people they represent. The voters designated them. Stock holders watch out for their best interest, understanding that the best interest of the company is in thier best interest. If thier designee does not work in the best interest of the company and stock holders, that designee is removed. Period!

   My new motto is "Don't tell me - tell your representative. Express yourself!" Open you mouth, send that e-mail, sign the petition, write the letter - VOTE!!!! and make your voice heard! It is your constitutional right and duty.

Baba Gil Scott Heron was wrong when he said "The Revolution will not be Televised."
because
The Revolution Is Being Televised And Is Streaming On The Internet
