Founding Fathers

Thank God our Founding Fathers had the vision to construct a government with multiple branches. They were very much afraid of one branch of government gaining too much power. Thus, the "checks and balances" of a government with three branches was born.

This Administration motivated the American People with a message of hope and change. Were these just words on a TelePrompTer? Did you not understand the change the American People wanted? Let me spell it out for you: We the people wanted (and still want) a government with integrity. We did not (and do not) want all the back room deals that are required to get legislation through Congress. We did not (and do not) want government elitists, who think they know better than us; what is good for us. Did you not understand the message from those Patriotic, Independent thinking voters in Massachusetts?

The American people elected you, Mr. Obama, because they thought you were going to work on their behalf. Instead, you are off on some idealistic binge. We, the American People, are not mindless serfs to be ruled by a bunch of elitists. We are a free and independent thinking people, who want our government representatives to remember that they work for us.

Case in Point: What is the deal with this health care reform summit? You are having a summit with the very people that have already proven that they are not listening to the American people? What do you hope to gain from this? It does not make sense. Unless ... you are not listening to the American people either. What else could it be? You are still on an idealistic health care agenda, rather than taking care of fixing the economy and creating jobs. You seem to think that you can put the republicans "on the spot" about this legislation. Listen up - the Republicans are not the problem! Government Elitists are the problem! If you really wanted to do something on health care, then why not just take those issues that would most benefit the largest portion of the American population? Eliminate all the pork-barrel deals - you would not need them if the legislation benefited a larger segment of the population. How about a "keep it simple stupid" approach? Perhaps, you should have brought in some of the average Americans to your summit; some of the folks who are going to get stuck with the bill. At least they would be working for the American people, and, not trying to make deals for lobbyists.

Now that the American People understand what you meant by change, Mr. Obama, we are gonna make some changes ourselves. We call it operation "Throw the Bums out!" It's time to put people in Congress, who understand their responsibilities to the American People.

It's time for checks and balances!
