Are we kidding ourselves???

What is wrong with this picture???

What is to follow here is a pure RANT... It is meant to stir the pot, to get us talking, to share ideas... People, give your two cents, just don't write me with flame mail, I know where the delete key is...

This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA... This is our nation... This is a Nation of the people, by the people, and for the people... Where did we go wrong that we forgot the words of the Gettysburg Address??? Now America is a nation of corporate greed, by the Wall Street and Foreign investors, and for every unscrupulous nutcase that can put on a golden parachute.

I was an investor in the 80's and 90's... I lost my ass after 9-11 and had to file bankruptcy... I lost EVERYTHING... I am not proud of it, but it is that facts of my life and what I had to do, no one bailed me out... I just got my credit back to high 600's all these years later... Now... My income is down almost 70% and I am fighting to pay my bills and save my own home... What does it say when the politicians want to take care of Wall Street and ignore the common people on Main Street???

I AM PISSED OFF...

• WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY???

• WHO CARES ABOUT THEM???

• WHO IS GOING TO SAVE THEIR HOME???

NO ONE!!!

So what do we do??? Here is a copy of the note I sent my Nevada State Senator Reed (yes the Majority Leader)

**** Start Message ****

With all due respect, STOP BAILING OUT WALL STREET and focus on MAIN STREET... Where is the help for the average American in this bill??? I am a REALTOR and my income is down 70% from when I purchased my house. I am facing foreclosure in the near future if I don't get some HELP... All the posturing is not helping me and my family. I can not qualify for a loan and do not want to lose my house...

HELP ME FIRST... Then consider bailing out the fat cats who caused this... If this bill does not include help for me and my clients I will make it my mission in life to make sure everyone who votes for it does not get my vote in the future and I will do all I can to stop others from voting for them too...

We need you to stay in our homes and you need us to stay in office…

**** End Message ****

We need to take back our country,

• We need to rebuild our crumbling roads and bridges...

• We need to create new jobs here and stop sending them over seas...

• We need to invest in new forms of energy...

• We need to get the heck out of OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS...

• We need to focus on AMERICA...

What do you think $700,000,000,000 can pay for (yes that is how many zeros is in 700 BILLION)? What is we took the over $10,000,000,000 (10 BILLION) a month from the war and spent it on AMERICA???

PEOPLE... YELL... SCREAM... HIT... JUMP... FIGHT... PUNCH... Heck lay down in the middle of the street and wave your legs and arms in the air... It is time for a change... I say vote EVERYONE out of office, every last one (Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party, etc, etc, etc...)Send a clear message to future politicians... Speak up for us and our needs or get out!!!

OK, I will climb down off my soap box now... I welcome your comments now...
