Politics
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, it was planned that way.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
Pass the 2006 Voting Bill:
RE-ELECT NOBODY
What’s ol’ Big Brother infecting us with these days? More laws protecting ourselves from ourselves. More laws benefiting corporations to control us. What lying noise are we reacting to that will continue the herd toward the canyon’s edge?
Careful. That last step is a doo-zie.
Voting isn’t enough. And what do we vote on anyway? Little, if anything. We have to be active! And by being active, I mean paying attention to what we’re paying these weasels to do in Austin and D.C. They give themselves raises, but we empower them by ignoring the ridiculous laws being passed these days. Heighten your awareness, raise your voice, get up off your ass, and let’s turn this country around.
Most of us can’t afford to buy politicians like the corporations do, but we can afford the time and energy to get America back closer to what and where it used to be.
Perhaps a start in that direction is to get the suits out of the capital. A guy like Kinky Friedman might be just the cure for our ills in Texas. We need a straight-shooter who’s real and not yet another puppet in front of the velvet curtain.
Hold our politicians accountable. Hold yourselves accountable. WE THE PEOPLE employ them. Never forget that. Politicians work for us. WE THE PEOPLE do not work for them.
Sometimes we forget our rights. Here’s the Amendments to the Constitution just in case we forget what we are entitled to in this country. They come in quite handy….
