What is wrong with us?!

I live in the United States of America, the "land of the free and the home of the brave," yet I am watching my country slip out of the hands of its citizens and into the hands of the few.

We have allowed our government to take over and we've done nothing about it. We fail ourselves by continuing to elect the same people who got us into this mess. We immediately blame the president for our debacle but we fail to realize that it was Congress who allowed our situation to get so bad.

How many times has Ted Kennedy been elected to office? How many times has he failed us?! I only use him as an example because he has been in Congress for much too long and demonstrated on more than one occasion that he is unfit to represent the people of these United States.

I don't understand why we, the general public, continually fail to realize that we really do have the final say. Power is only granted through consent. Have we become so apathetic that we have consented our rights away?

Those in power are only there because WE ALLOW THEM TO BE!

I passionately urge the American populous to remind our elected officials that they are nothing without us. To parallel a common parental colloquialism, "We elected you into power. We can elect you out."

It's time to start replacing the representatives that do not represent. We CAN make a difference. Yes, we can! We CAN send a message. Yes, we can! We CAN say NO to Obama's so-called healthcare bill. Yes, we can! We CAN stop the constant rape of the Constitution. Yes, we can! We CAN replace the all-too-comfortable long-time incumbents who turned their backs on us through our power of the vote. Yes, we can!

We can take back America from the socialist regime. Yes, we can!
