Take back our country in 2010

Because our Congressmen and Senators have forgotten who sent them to Washington, it is time that "We the people" send them a reminder. These people have over stepped the bounds of our constitution for far too long. If we start right now, we won't get our freedoms back for years, but we have to START!

I am a grandmother and I love to play with my grandchildren. I like to make brownies and work in my garden. I don’t like spending days composing letters to the people we have elected to look after our interests in Washington. But because of the massive government takeover of the liberties that have been held so dear in this country, the freedoms that my father and grandfather fought for, the safety that my sons and grandson are still protecting , it has become necessary for me to put down my spatula and my garden hoe and work to get representation in Washington so we can live in these United States without fear that some Washington D.C. czar who is neither elected or confirmed by the Senate is making decisions about the country that my grandchildren are growing up in.

All over the country, normal citizens are exercising their God-given rights of assembly, free speech and dissent. It is important for elected members of Congress to hear from their constituents, and it is a healthy exercise for our country. But now the left wing media who reported favorably about war protesters or amnesty for illegal aliens or people who attacked churches that supported marriage remaining between a man and woman; suddenly they see a few hundred retirees, small businessmen, homemakers, farmers, sales clerks and just plain folks as evidence of 'rightwing extremism.'

They believe that name-calling can intimidate us into silence. We cannot give up! As Americans we have the right to express or views to the politicians who WORK FOR US , even if they don't like it. We have to get involved, we have to stand up and speak out, make the phone calls and send the e-mails. We cannot be silenced by the liberal left! The future of our country and our children and grandchildren is at stake. The ugly name calling shows that our voices are being heard. Please keep it up!

The people that we have sent to Washington are destroying our liberties and wreaking havoc on our constitutional rights. As voters we have to look for candidates that understand who the boss really is and will protect our interests and or freedoms.

We must demand that the people we elect start representing the people who elected them.
