IT'S NOT A CARD GAME

I don't know about you, but frankly I'm sick and tired of politicians and former presidents "playing the race card"! I truly believe this is a democratic party tactic being used to intimidate people who are openly and publicly critical of President Obama's policies and political agenda. Accuse someone of being a racist when they disagree with your political position and the natural reaction is to divert the discussion to say your not a racist and take you off of your position. If they can get you on the defensive about that, then you're no longer on the offense with your original criticism.

The current debate over health care, economic policy, the global war on terrorism (pick your topic) is not a game! These are serious issues that deserve serious debate and discussion. Let's demand that our elected representatives start doing what we sent them to Washington to do in the first place...Represent Us!

So the next time someone plays the race card, tell them to GO FISH!

Yes, We Are At The Crossroads

I wrote a while back that we needed to stop Obama Care. Well it's been an interesting summer. Representatives and Senators have gotten an ear full. Some have listened, others have not. One even went so far as to say he was going to vote for the bill even if his district was overwhelmingly against it. (Hopefully he's looking for a new job come November 2010.)

We need to continue to write and/or call our representatives and let them know that we won't stand by an watch the Obama administration and Congress wreck our nation and our economy. I've written both of Virginia's Senators and my Representative. Unfortunately, I have zero confidence that Senator Webb nor Senator Warner will break from the Democratic party line. Congressman Wittman informed me that he does not support the bill.

We are at a crossroads America! Make your voice heard and let Washington know how you feel.
