Happy DEPENDENCE Day?

Yes, Washington D.C. is hell-bent on making this nation a bunch of takers and no longer encouraging independence and freedom that results from it.

It's sad beyond belief.

I've been mourning.

I have to tell you I'm not real convinced we can make it through the next two years. I know that the elections this fall are going to give another large, blinking neon sign to the administration that we ARE NOT BEHIND HIM and his policies. But it will not matter.

He is hell-bent on destroying--and then rebuilding in his own image--this country that he hates so much. It's never been so obvious that OUR JOB IS HUGE.

If we make it, limping, into the fall of 2012, the work that will need to be done to repair the destruction we have watched will be overwhelming.

Will those who are running for office have the balls of steel they will need to defeat the cycle of dependence that Washington has imposed on us all?

I hope so.

I think often of Gov. Chris Christie, and I know there are still REAL, RED-BLOODED AMERICAN LEADERS out there. Let's just pray our hearts out that they'll step up! AND WHEN THEY DO, WE WILL HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO THE TOUGH WORK and get behind him and push with all of our might.

Up until the final health-care vote, I had my representatives in Washington on speed dial and called Washington and emailed and wrote letters, did everything I could think of, joined up with the Tea Party protests...not one bit of our input mattered, we were sold down the drain and since that time Washington hasn't heard a word from me.

I can't even keep up with all the legislation and I literally get sick when I hear all the news coming out of Washington, and yes even around the world right now.

All I know is that I know Who is Really In Charge, and I'm glad that I do.

Otherwise, I'd have absolutely NO HOPE.

We must PRAY.
We also must WORK.

So...get active in your local elections this fall, it's just the beginning of taking Washington back.
