We the people...

We the people of The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA have allowed high brow arrogant rich bureaucrats to ruin our country and lives for far too long.
We the people in order to reform a more perfect union establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility must vote with a purpose. We must demand that our votes be counted. We no longer have need for the electoral college to cast votes on our behalf. Lets face it they don't always vote the way the American populous would have, so if they are not going to do their job properly lets eliminate them from the process. Your vote should count and so should mine. Last election and the one before we got screwed.
We the people of the United States of America need to demand accountability from our elected officials. Why Do congressmen and senators get paid so much more than the average American that they are to represent ? I believe they should be audited annually to ensure integrity. Lets make sure they are not getting paid to vote a certain way. Lobby kickbacks and gifts, must stop! Members of congress should not have an expense account. They make more than enough money to pay for their own dinners and parties. Lets face it our Government does not give a rip about us as individuals, All the politicians see is money. Tax dollars to use any way they want. They waste our money on other countries and do not provide health care for the American who spends his life paying the tax money in. We send billions to Mexico only so they can end up in the same situation a little farther down the line.Negotiate the annexation of Mexico, We won't have to worry about bailing them out, we won't have to worry about them entering illegally,We will gain some very skilled workers, and of course lets not forget those tax dollars.
They send our children to die in a war so that they can protect their interests in the oil industry.$ 10 Billion a month is being spent on the war in Iraq, and I don't know how much more in Afghanistan. I just heard recently we owe china 500 billion? what for?
I will be looking into that.
We the people of The United States of America deserve more for our hard work than empty promises, lies, and an uncaring government body.

I remember as a child being so patriotic, now I just feel like my government is just out to screw me. That is not the way it should be, so I will be voting for whatever good it will do. I will be calling my Government officials and asking questions. I will waste more of my time writing on this blog in the hopes that it might be read and make a difference. And all of this I will be doing on behalf of...
We the people of The United States of America.

What makes you special ?

Do you feel like you are somebody special? Not that you are better than others,but special just because you are you. You should. Everyone is unique,We all have our own talents and perspective on things.Even Identical twins are not truly Identical. Yes they look alike and share some or many of the same qualities,yet they are still individuals. Far too often people lose that feeling of being special due to the overbearing nature of others who in turn lost their specialness in a similar fashion.
These poor souls have that internal recording saying " If I am not special you can't be either." The inability to measure up to the standards of a parent or other role model is like course sandpaper to our specialness. How many times did you do something as an act of kindness as a child, only to be scolded or rejected. Did you pick flowers for your mom only to be told they were weeds. Did you try to make your bed, only to be yelled at for having your stuffed animals on the floor. When you said you wanted to be a movie star, or musician,or writer, or president or whatever, were you told that you can do anything if you work hard for it, or were you told that it was a pipe dream. Were you told the world needs ditch diggers, or janitors or some other less glamorous job. Don't get me wrong our society could not exist without these people. My point is are they happy in their job or are they just doing it because someone sqaushed their specialness.
How about your relationships in school? Did you get made fun of?Or maybe you were making fun of others to try and make yourself feel special.Maybe you were a bookworm and would have been the next noble prize winner, or maybe you were overly creative and on your way to being the next Picasso. I am not telling you to give up your job and follow that dream from however long ago, But I am saying to look inside yourself and find that special person and that dream you had, and realize you are still special.
(I also am not saying you can't follow that dream whatever it is.)
You are special! We all are. We are all equal too. Go ahead and tell yourself:
I am special. I am somebody. I am a worthwhile human being. God did not waste his time when he made me. I am lovable,and I am willing to give love to others,because they are special too. I deserve respect and courtesy, just as others deserve respect and courtesy from me.
In case you are wondering. Yes I too had lost my specialness, It was seeing myself through the eyes of my wife and kids that gave it back. Yes, I am special too.
Now go hug someone special.
