Why are the veiws on this thread (linked above) have so few veiws? Do we as a nation get it? Please all members of R&S, I beseech you to get involved. IT IS THAT IMPORTANT!! This is not something to take lightly. This is not something to look at and say "This is America. America can not fall. We have been a country for over 200 years."

Term: Tragedy
Definition: Good people sitting on their ass and doing nothing to prevent a tragedy.


People get the hell up and get involved before we have no America.

I here people say all the time that it will not happen here, that this is America. I here people say all the time that we will always have the first and second amendment. Really? I challenge you to do this one little thing. Go get your Bible, if you don't own one you should, and turn to the back, you know, the part about Revelations, AND READ IT!!!

Ya know that I, just like millions of other people out there are guilty of fair weather politics. Politics only come to the forefront,when there are elections. Other than that we vote and put our countries affairs in the hands of basically a complete stranger. We think we know these people and everything about them. We fall into the lemon selling used car salesman pitch. You can't trust any of them to follow through with anything. They flip flop . Yeah we live in a democracy. And our freedoms are constantly under attack ,by the very people we elect into office. If we can't trust our own people to keep our democracy strong. Who can we trust? Like I said I'm not a political person. But as an employer of these people. I feel that there should be limitations on stay of office. It should be imposed by the people. You fail at your job you lose it. You go by the platform and promises that got you the job or you are on the unemployment line. And if you lose your job because you were voted out. You shouldn't continue to get paid by the people who fired you. Its amazing that people who took us for a ride to the cleaners continue to live the lifestyles they do. You sucked in office,and now your sucking us dry. Selfishness,arrogance,self centered,above the people,above the law. They know who they are! Shouldn't we??

I got involved 13 months ago by filing for a county position, ran against eleven others in the primary and came in 2nd place which pays nothing. When I met people to ask for their vote I promised I would try to make a difference and I've kept my word.
I've helped other candidates in parades, auctions, meet and greet events, even hosted one at my home, Lincoln Days, registered 25 new voters, ect.

What has amazed me in my efforts is the fact that about 70% agree with me when we are visiting about the issues but only 12 to 19% are voting. Since I'm in a rural farming community I'm not surprised that I have the support of the rural residents but when you throw our State University votes in to the mix, it is down hill fast. Guess what, the students turned out a 76% vote and you all know who won on the national level.
You have to believe me when I say the left is very well organized at this time and many good folks that lean toward the right are making it easy for them by doing little or nothing. Also believe this, talking about it is not enough, we have to get involved wherever possible.
I will not tell you how or whom to vote for even if you are my next door neighbor but if you want to keep your right to own & bear arms,have prolife beliefs,dislike big government and higher taxes then we need to be prepared in 2010. That means know the issues from local to the National level, get ivolved anywhere you can (join the party of your choice & go to meetings) become a registered voter, if you're not already.
If anyone thinks America can't fail because we are a superpower then take Ghost's advice & read the book of Revelation soon. When was the last time you worried about a Roman soldier coming to take you away?
