I am slowly coming to see A Navy Vet’s frustration. People in Washington only understand power, money and votes. If you have any of the three, it is as good as having all three. The only time they make a pretense of hearing (NOT listening)is when they want our money and/or our votes.
You write to your “representative” in Versailles on the Potomac and you MAY get a response, full of “I did”. Most times you’ll get ignored.
Delaware is a prime example of what’s wrong with our government: A VP, two Senators and a lone Representative. VP, one Senator and the rep are owned by Bank of America. The other Senator was appointed and has no credentials other than he was Biden’s chief lackey.
We should take note of what is happpening in Iran. People are laying down their lives for freedom and liberty. Couldn’t we sit-in, once?
I also share the frustration that you express.
I attended a tea party, despite my feeling that it allowed the media, in what scant coverage they deigned give to them, to mischaracterize them as as tax protests, ala the original Boston tea party. This trivialized the issues, as the enormous taxes that are the inevitable outcome of Obamatization have not yet hit us. Therefore, it was easy to just fob us off as greedy 'rich folk' who wanted to hang onto our money.
My feeling was that something huge was needed, not a series of small, localized protests that the media could ignore.
They could not ignore our shutting down Washington. We need to converge on there en masse and literally clog the Beltway, effectively paralyzing the city for a day.
Then, we follow up with a demonstration.
