Michigan's 1st District: An Awakening

I’ve been extremely impressed with how well-informed the people are. The topics we’ve discussed, the questions that have been asked, all show that the citizenry of our 1st District is paying attention, educating themselves and tackling the concerns we have about our country’s direction, head on. This renewed interest by regular Americans has been kindled by the negative impact that the current Democrat administration has had on their lives. They see that they have been caught in the cross-hairs, and they are learning how government is meant to work, not just the politics involved. They’ve asked me about the 1st, 2nd, 10th and 17th Amendments. My fellow citizens are reading for themselves, the Constitution, learning the how and why, what Washington should not be doing vs. what they have done. Our current legislators and this administration do not want the populace to know or speak out, but we are not going to stop. That is the message I am receiving from the people.

We are all concerned about this country’s current course. Policies have been set in place that will have disastrous economic consequences unless we stop and take corrective action. This administration has brought even higher unemployment rates, which we are now all too familiar with here in the 1st District. President Obama and his administration’s efforts to intrude upon and control the individual citizen’s life cannot continue. The only way we can stop this is by using the energy and common sense of the people themselves to set us on the right course.

“I’ve been extremely impressed with how well-informed the people are.”...

That’s what I like to hear when I know how liberals would most likely be thinking, “I’ve been extremely SURPRISED...”.
