LPA:It's over two weeks into 2006. So far the political world hasn't changed much from 2005. The thing that gets my attention, is how the coverage of the Abramoff Scandel was big news one day, and miniscule news the next. There is a reson for that of course, just as there is an underlying reason for most things that happen in the world. Sometimes, we just don't know what the reasons are. This time however, we do know why the Abramoff story has headed towards the rear of today's "news". It's because BOTH major political parties (In case you come from another country, or planet, that means the Republicans and Democrats) are involved up to their collective necks. We want the American people to know and understand that this is not a partisan issue. The Democrats will try to look blameless, but BOTH political parties grabbed that money as fast as they could deposit the checks.
Is THIS what you want to belong too? Do you want to campaign for people that consistantly put their own interests above the American People's interests? This has been going on for decades now in America. Have you seen very many "average" guys run for political office? Last year I lived on the eastern coast of Florida and I saw the "coronation" of Kendrick Meeks as his mother's replacement in congress. I didn't see any of my neighbors running for that spot. I never hear of anyone I know running for anything. Everytime I see a politician, 99 times out of 100, they are well connected, both in business, and in politics.
There was an exception, I have to admit. Bill Clinton wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was an American success story. He worked his way up from being dirt poor, to the highest office in the land. Maybe that's why the Republicans hated him so much. He was the most investigated President that ever held office, Clinton was so busy dodging claims of corruption that I can't believe he found the time to run this nation. The other thing about those investigations that the taxpayers paid millions for, was that they didn't find a thing thgat he did wrong, except that mistake with his intern. Could you imagine what he could have accomplished if he didn't spend so much time fighting to keep his job? That was the Republican machine working for the citizen's. That is business as usual in Washington. We have become so used to that kind of "business as usual" that we really didn't see anything wrong with it. That why I'm writing this article. Folks, there is something wrong with it. There is something wrong with our whole political system. If you can't see it, then start a subscription to some news magizines, read the papers, and quit spending so much time in Wal-Mart.
This nation is facing a grave national crisis. It's a crisis of conscience. Most people have stopped participating in government. There are two reasons for that. The first one is because they feel that it's too time consuming and that they probably wouldn't make a difference, the second is that they don't know how to get involved. I would like to believe that the primary reason is the second reason that I just mentioned. If you feel like you are one of the people in the second category, I've got just the thing to get you going.

We are not "Big Shots" that won't listen to what you have to say. We are ordinary Americans like yourselves that have had it with "business as usual" in Washington. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. We want to change the way our country is being run. The days of the big, impersonal political machine running the goverment are numbered. We stand with the people and are with the people because we are the people. We are not red or blue, Democrat or Republican. We are for common sense, working for the common good. We have not ever, nor will we ever, take a dime from any lobbyist or PAC or corporation. Can any other political party say that? Don't you wish that campaign finance reform was really campaign finance reform, instead of mixed up laws that nobody can understand except the lawyers? (And most of them can't figure it out). That was intentional. It's like President Bush calling the repeal of most environmental legislation "The Fresh Air Act". What is this, a big joke on the people of the United States? Look, I'm not making this stuff up.

If you do, it won't be business as usual in Washington. If you do, you will scare the hell out of the Republicans and the Democrats. If you do, you will save yourselves from the machine politicians that could care less about the average American like you and I. If you do, we could get the world to look at us as a legitimate government that represents the will of the American people instead of a superpower, imperialistic state that they are afraid of.
