The topic of “taking our country back” creates so many thoughts in my head I don’t really know where to start. I was listening to a small, local radio station while driving this morning and was reminded, yet again, of my frustrations with people; me included. We bitch and complain endlessly about how things are BUT, our answer when someone says (for example) write your representative is “I don’t have the time”.
We are lazy!! If you don’t like how something is than write letters, email, make phone calls…do something other than blah blah blah with no action to back it up. I AM someone who gets lazy as well…but I will stand up for myself and admit I have done my fair share of letter writing and phone calls in the past when something I did not think was just, happened to me. I am also a member of two local Chambers of Commerce and on one of their Economic Development Committees.
I just think there should be a new rule; if you’re going to take the time to bitch about something; you have to take some step, some effort toward fighting what you disagree with. This is your one shot, your one life…make it worth the breath you take. Make a difference, make a change. Fight for the things you believe in, stand for your convictions. Write a letter or send an email to your state senator or representative some time in the next 30 days about something you are unhappy with. Will it be about the economy, jobs, welfare, entitlement, greed, wall street, war, …what? YOU are the CHANGE!!!
