No More

It was interesting to watch just how angry our politicians became with AIG during the hearings with Edward Liddy. As I watched I could not help but to feel amazed that these politicians were this upset over AIG spending $165 million to pay its employees, just two weeks after they voted to spend $410 billion in pork with the Omnibus Spending Bill. Where I come from that is known as “the pot calling the kettle black”. By the way that $165 million is less than 1% of the money that we have given to AIG. I seem to recall Congress defending the Omnibus Bill by saying that it only represents 2% of our national budget. So 1% is a problem, but 2% is no big deal. What a bunch of hypocrites.
CONGRESS, waste is waste, and abuse is abuse no matter who is wasting our taxpayer dollars. It is time that we the taxpayers, the people, and your bosses let you know that loud and clear.
We cannot continue to send the same people to Washington and expect a different result. We the people have to rise up and say NO MORE!!!
· No more can we stand by and let our government destroy our democracy.
· No more can we send those to Washington that listen to the voices of the special interest groups as opposed to the people that they are supposed to represent.
· No more can we allow the parties to highjack our democratic process.

In the Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers said it like this:

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
