I have recently come to realize that we are completely surrounded by song and dance people professing to represent our common interest within any political arena here in Tennessee and especially Washington D.C. I arrived at my theory while watching with interest the local mayoral election run-off between Ron Littlefield (a career politician) and his opponent Ann Coulter (a local business woman). Now Mr. Littlefield has been in office for quite sometime and even run on the fact that he had something to offer the citizens of Chattanooga that Mrs. Coulter didn't have. My question to Mr. Littlefield would be, "Why didn't you share all this information while serving as a councilman on the cities payroll before?" That is my point, people sit on their back sides and NEVER open their mouths up for a second, then when someone new steps up and says, "I have something to offer that is fresh and innovative" then everyone and their brother starts running and beaming with new ideas!
That is why we need some type of term limits on senators and congressman. They get up in front of us (citizens) and say, "Just elect me to congress and I promise you that I will make all your dreams come true" and "I will do my job and then leave" yet once they get in their new found position it gets good to them (The Power and prestige') and they try to find ways to stay then...this is WRONG! That is what's wrong with our country today...We elect people into office that shoots us full of crap...we buy into there spill and they go off to do our bidding in Congress only to find they have a bias of their own before they get there! They take their convictions and goals to the floor and forget about the people who got them there...yet once elections roll around they kiss the babies and promise you everything under the sun to get the chance to go back to their good jobs with the great retirement plans!
It's back to screw you and me...we're needed only during elections or bail outs for when big businesses go belly-up the citizens must bail them out. Frankly, I'm sick of it. They can send 800 million dollars to Iraq for rebuilding their cities when we have people sick and starving to death right in our own back yards...THIS IS SICKENING FOLKS and I want to make a difference in our lives! I will stand tall and I will listen to you, I will take your calls all hours of the night. I am the same way each time you see me...I am consistant in my convictions! If you are ready to make a change then I will be your voice...help me to help you and I will put your voice back into Washington DC.
