I've
been asked to forward this because it is very important, so I am doing
so. Hopefully all our hopes and concerns will reach the right people
and we can get back on the road to repairing the America that we all
know love and believe in.
This
has to be the email forward of the year! Please take a few minutes to
read and absorb just what this woman had to say, and then hopefully
everyone will pass it to their entire mailing list, and theirs to
theirs until it circles the nation! Time is short and arrogance,
stupidity and ignorance abound..........

around the country. Americans everywhere identify with this 53-year-old
woman. She has given us a voice. Once you read this, you will want to
forward it to all of your friends...

GLENN
BECK: I got a letter
from a woman in Arizona . She writes an open letter to our nation's
leadership:
"I
am 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. Instead, we are burdened with Congressional Dukes and
Duchesses who think they know better than the citizens they are
supposed to represent.
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 are that I would feel so
horribly disenfranchised by both major
political parties. What kind of nut-job am I? Well, these
briefly are the 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 is not to be confused with legal immigration..
Two,
the STIMULUS 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want it repealed and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repealed.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 constitutional 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 are many conflicting opinions and it is too soon for
this radical legislation. Quit throwing our nation into
politically-correct quicksand.
Five,
universal healthcare.
I will not be rushed into another expensive decision that will burden
me, my children, and grandchildren. Don't
you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night without even
reading it. Slow down! Fix only what is broken --
we have the best health care system in the world -- and test any new
program in one or two states first.
Six,
growing government control. I
want states
rights
and sovereignty restored..
I want less government in my life, not more.More
is not better! Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough
to take care of with your real [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't
you start there.
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 -- how
did they pull that one off? Stop the funding to
ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and
investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census with our
taxpayer money. I don't trust them with any of 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 -- and 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? And 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. Every company must 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
stop trying to manipulate and 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. Slow down and get some input from
nonpoliticians and experts 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 am busy, and I am
tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the
business 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 from getting far off course.. What happened? You
are 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 needless urgency and
recklessness in all of your recent spending of our tax dollars.
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 bringing our concerns to Washington . Our president
often knows all the right buzzwords like 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 at you.
You
have awakened us, the patriotic freedom 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 who 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 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."
