America, God blessed countryTo say you would not be here reading this if you where not concerned for what is taking place in our country is a logical assumption.

What to do? What can I do? What is the safe smart move?

The safe move is the smart move, in common times.

These are uncommon times for us.

Time is become a critical factor. Our liberties are rapidly dissolving. There are events taking place that if the right choices are taken brave people will be rewarded.

I have faith in the patriotic nature of we the people. People power is where it is at.

As a person of conservative values you may have asked yourself about the political Party’s, where have they been of late? It is an honest question.

I think they are out getting new dentures and Armani suits.
Time has arrived to refresh these political Party’s.
Time to refresh our Republic.

Now is time to renew the people into the true power factor that we always have been. It is ourselves that know what we want. It is we that far outnumber any political party in power. It is we that are the true power brokers.

The power we hold as the people is monumental. It is bigger than any.

It is larger than us.

It is America.

You, and you and you, and you and I and she and he, us and we have everything to gain by taking control of our destiny our lives and our great society.

We are our brave hearted solders who may die in a far place far from comfort and those who love them. The blessed hearted lady who operates her daycare from her home, never charges you for watching your kids when you have to stay late at your job. The old guy who has worked 30 years as a welder who has more knowledge than any new college graduate engineer, and brings home a quarter of the pay. The police officer who never knows if they will end up in a pine box, but have such honor and courage they never waver in their duty. The miner who may go to eternity in the lonely dark confines of a coal mine. The pilot who against all odds lands his 50 Ton airliner on a river because he believes in all his heart everyone on board can all walk away. The family who gives up everything from the home country to become citizens in a nation that believes in and is founded in liberty and self-determination. The fireman that humps 50 pounds of gear 70 flights of stairs with higher regard for your life than his. These folks and so many more believe in this place called America, they believe in it so much they will do whatever it takes to contribute something of themselves to our way of life.

These are people who number in the millions.

Heroes?

Compared to we the people, the folks in elected office who are currently chartering our destiny are numbered in the mere hundreds.
How does that grab you?

And what will really bake your noodle, consider the number of folks in our elective government who are visibly and actively working in the peoples best interest and wishes?

I do not see a many. There are, god bless them, a few who stand by us. They need us and we need them. These few have a lot to offer and are wise men and woman. They are we. We are they.

Heroes?

There is most likely no messiah waiting in the wings nor is there a savoir who is going to come to our rescue. One man or woman is not going to do be able to so.

There are many Heroes though. If you were to ask where are they I would say to you, They are regular folks, they are we and we are they.

We are our saviors. We are the ones who will come to the rescue.

That is the beauty of it; it is part and parcel of who we are as a people and a nation. “We the Peopleâ€
