A Congressional CONSTITUTIONAL LITERACY Campaign!

Have you ever wondered why John Hancock made his signature so large on the Declaration of Independence? So the King of England would have NO TROUBLE seeing it!

(I like that attitude!)

This is another guest post from my sister, Mary. She's summed up my feelings so well, I had to share it with you...Enjoy!

I've had a great day today. The second one in a ROW! After 15 months of frustration, fear and anger I'm feeling so much better because of Tuesday!

My anger has been simmering awhile. It began with TARP. I called and e-mailed along with so many others to voice my overwhelming opposition to this nitwit plan to bail out banks that were supposedly too big to fail. It was hard to tell the difference between John McCain and B.O. on that stinker.

It was very disappointing that McCain was liberal light when it came to TARP with the difference in his stance from Obama. The only difference being that McCain seemed wobbly on his feet and made the misstep of suspending his campaign for a few hours until it was a sorted out. Yep. That did it. It clearly sorted out the negligible difference between him and Obama.

He'd do pretty much the same thing Obama did, but at his age it wasn't worth the risk of electing him. The man who called himself a Reagan foot soldier seemed to have no Reagan values to fall back on. This is a big reason Obama won. It certainly helped give rise to the Tea Party movement! It solidified in our minds that the loss of spine in the Republican Party spelled catastrophy for our country, that if Republicans couldn't find conservatism the party was doomed to fail and Democrats would be in power into infinity.

New York's Congressional election a few months ago should have sent a message to the GOP. Don't bring the weak stuff. Ever Again. DeeDee Scozzafava was a knock-off Republican, and if a pair of knock-off designer shoes costs the same as the real deal, why would anyone pay the big bucks for knock-offs? We aren't stupid. No more democrats in sheep's clothing should get their elections financed by us.

Who screens these people? If the GOP won't do it, we will. At the election booth and with our lack of donations. Our hypocrisy detectors are working overtime.

Tuesday's big victory in the bluest of blue states-- Massachusetts --showed that a conservative Republican with a spine can win, and win big. Micheal Steele doesn't seem to have a spine of steel as much as Senator Elect Scott Brown does. Many Republicans need to hurry to their surgeons office. The faster the better. It's time for a whole bunch of them to get a spine transplant. In blue states or districts, it's plain to see that the Republicans who win are unashamed conservative Republicans.

Mealy-mouthed moderate Republicans may not find it easy to be re-elected except in heavily red states or districts. Get smart or get a transplant! If you refuse, the unemployment line will surely be in your future!

And from Brown's acceptance speech Tuesday night, he showed he isn't worried overmuch about being liked by liberals or the Washington establishment. We conservatives like that.

He re-iterated what the people on the campaign trail had told him. They didn't hire him to be well liked in Washington circles. They hired him to defeat Obama Care. They hired him to spend our tax dollars fighting terrorism, not paying lawyers to defend terrorists in court. The fact that he was willing to drive an older truck around the state as he campaigned was icing on the cake. We've had it with arrogance and elitism and entitlement attitudes from our hired servants.

The democrats think it's glamorous to pull up in a long, black limo after hopping off a taxpayer funded jet. They look down on those who don't. Obama ridiculed Brown for the truck, after recently returning form a tax-payer funded holiday in Hawaii, attended by his family and many friends and multiple thousands of dollars per night just for the lodging ONLY! Our treat. Of course.

Only a nincompoop would enjoy seeing these fat-cats live it up big time on our dime! They just don't get it, but we do. We're cutting back, they aren't. It's refreshing to see a regular guy get into a truck and get to work. Perhaps he can stop on the way to D.C. and pick up a few American made shovels and get busy on shoveling out the CRAP & TRADE once he arrives. Lord knows D.C. could use some cleaning out.

These are some changes needed in the Republican party before I will be behind them collectively.

1. Get back to the platform, back to conservatism....not lip service.

2. Anyone who wants GOP election funding (our money) needs to take Constitutional Law classes from someone like Republican Representative Thaddeus McCotter. Intensive classes. They need to at least know as much as an immigrant must learn to become a citizen. I think the Constitutional illiteracy in D.C. is rampant and shameful.

Micheal Steele needs to learn as much from Tuesday's election as the Democrats do. He shouldn't get too puffed up because the people are angry at the Republicans, too!

He should advance this plan now. I know I've been reluctant to donate money to the GOP, but I'd happily donate for Constitutional Literacy training.

After intensive infusions of Constitutional Law, an in-depth study of Reagan values would be in order. I'm sick of moderates saying they're just like Reagan. They don't even know what he stood for, or why his principals worked to pull our country out of the miserable Jimmy Carter Recession!

Learn it, Republicans-- and more great days are in the future!

TO DO: Please mention to anyone that will listen that CONSTITUTIONAL LITERACY needs to be present in the houses of Congress....we're not too confident that those in Washington, D.C. even know what it says any longer! Call your RNC or your representative in the House or Congress.
