A letter that makes sense!

[PALADIN85020]

The following letter, read on Glenn Beck's show, is
rapidly circulating around the country. Americans
everywhere identify with this 53-year-old woman. She
has given us a voice. If you agree, please forward this
to your friends.

GLENN BECK: I recently got a letter from a woman in
Arizona . She writes an open letter to our nation's
leadership:

"I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered
Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential
election I registered as a Republican because I no
longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views
or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no
longer feel the Republican Party represents my views
or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact
is I no longer feel any political party or
representative in Washington represents my views or
works to pursue the issues important to me. There
must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please
stand up and tell me that you are there and that
you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it
was written. Please stand up now. You might ask
yourself what my views and issues a re that I would
horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major
political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will
you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which
I seek representation:

One , illegal immigration. I want you to stop
coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders.
Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and
the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not
again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S.,
I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with
legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no
further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but
you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95%
repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks
and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No
more czars. Government officials answer to the
process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our
Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is
not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into
another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to
pass this in the middle of the night and then go on
break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights
and sovereignty fully restored. I want less
government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind
your own business. You have enough to take care of
with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

PART II FOLLOWS

 

[PALADIN85020]

PART II:

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates
in charge of our 2010 census. I want them
investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow
fees contributed to them every time on every real
estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN
and its affiliates pending impartial audits and
investigations. I do not trust them with taking the
census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust
them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the
allegations against them and get it resolved before
taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it
walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop
protecting your political buddies. You work for us,
the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work
for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for
people with more money than I have because they gave
me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth
that I will support. I never got a job from a poor
person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why
-- what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got
a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need.
Charity belongs in our local communities, where we
know our needs best and can use our local talent and
our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do
it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim
like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead,
we'll be better off just getting into it and letting
the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever
ripped off a Band-Aid? We will pull together. Great
things happen in America under great hardship. Give
us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you
more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about
it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's
say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some
straight honest talk. Please try -- please stop
manipulating and trying to appease me with clever
wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me
for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms
making deals with your friends. It will only be a
prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding
things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now .
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow
down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on
the subject. Stop making everything an emergency.
Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an
activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a
terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a
parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy.
I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected
competent people to take care of the busines s of
government so that we could work, raise our families,
pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain
about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our
personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the
weekends and be responsible contributing members of
society and teach our children to be the same all
while living in the home of the free and land of the
brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I
believed in the checks and balances to keep you from
getting far off course. What happened? You are very,
very far off course.

Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a
speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a
bill that you signed into law without knowing what it
contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the
responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap
in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why
is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to
make a single decision about my own life and how I
would live it but you should expect that I should
trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of
us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill.
We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure
that we still cannot. There is such urgency and
recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have
gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in
these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your
current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans?
We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on
everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon
us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put
our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you
are making. We will have to give up our vacations,
our time spent with our children, any relaxation time
we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend
on you to bring our concerns to Washington . Our
president often knows all the right buzzword is
unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of
thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come
up with that word? We don't want your overpriced
words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your
reelection and do the job we want done, not the job
you want done or the job your party wants done. You
work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for
long because we are coming. We will be heard and we
will be represented. You think we're so busy with our
lives that we will never come for you? We are the
formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work
, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our
noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at
you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so
strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too
long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are
great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who
will be there, there will be hundreds more that could
not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will
represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be
at the polls on voting day to usher you out of
office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our
last few dollars saved. We will find the
representation among us and a grassroots campaign
will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the
gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence,
but we are angry. You will represent us or you will
be replaced with someone who will. There are
candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix
from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian.
Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are
meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to
do right by us and our Constitution and that is all
that matters to us now.

We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and
seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we
want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused
it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As
Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought
shame to us. If you are not representing the wants
and needs of your constituency loudly and
consistently, in spite of the objections of your
party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer
care about your political parties. You need to be
loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you
fired and they will not save you.

If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views,
please stand up. Make your identity known. You need
to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know
who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be
herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will
replace the whole damn congress if need be one by
one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you
represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we
are coming. We the people are coming."
