Like writing your congressman?
You need to pay closer attention Julia.
The American people have made their expectations known for many years, regarding much smaller government, secured borders, end subsiding millions of illegals, less taxes, less controlling, intrusive government etc.
We got none of that Julie. Just the opposite in fact.
Oh ... you don’t even want to be around me when I am talking about these issues... but hey...I lived in a blue district and and a blue state.
Now they are red ... so ... I can actually go to my congressman’s office...
I will be volunteering. I get to make smartass comments on his Facebook account when all the liberals are citing DAily Kos and calling him a traitor for bringing outside business in....
We got none of that Julie. Just the opposite in fact.

Quickly approaching is the winter solstice, Dec. 21, 2012. With the predictions of the Mayan calendar and the continued unsustainable growth and increasing associated demands of the human race, our survival is questionable.

Many know the place as the American Stonehenge. East of Athens, Ga., beside Highway 77 in the middle of nowhere, lies a monument consisting of six slabs of granite, 19-plus feet tall, astronomically aligned and erected in 1980.
On the slabs are 10 messages to an age of reason.
MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE.
GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY, IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY.
UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING LANGUAGE.
RULE PASSION, FAITH, TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON.
PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS.
LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY, RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT.
AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS.
BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.
PRIZE TRUTH, BEAUTY, LOVE, SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE.
BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH. LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE.
If this makes sense to you, and if you would like these messages made more public and you feel a gnawing guilt about how atrociously our species has treated Mother Nature and her creations, e-mail me at ApologyDay@hotmail.com .
