It finally happened and although it may not be tantamount to a crack in the Wailing Wall, or the arousal of a Sleeping Giant, nevertheless I finally wrote a letter to the Government and in consideration of my age all I should say is "It's about time!!" About time that I did more than sit in my own stew (Interestingmetaphore) and about time that my silent crtiicisms are no longer silent. What in the name of you know who is happening?? Is our Democracy going mad? And where does all this paper come from that permits the Washington idiots to press the money to pay for all that is taking place. It is more than we average people can comprehend. So I wrote to President Obama and gave him a piece of my mind and then I directed mail to the Representative for my district and then to the two Senators that are supposed to help prevent this idiocy from happening... I can't sit around and wait until 2012 or maybe even 2010 to go to the poll and vote my ire. When will there be enough men in the responsible offices to have sufficient steel gonads to call "ENOUGH"? Pardon my candor but I don't know how to say it in a more modified manner and expect our titled men of D.C to understand what I am saying.
I have never received the constancy of fury men AND women are telling about that which is taking place and it is bordering on anarchy. Has lunacy left the building?? I wish Elvis was back and at least we could have music to bellyache by. Its not only the Health Care Bill, it goes way beyond one bill no matter how screwed up it is ---and it is. It is not just the Democrats, although one would think there has to be men on that side of the aisle who can stand for something better than what is being passed off as logical legislation. And don't think the Republicans are coming out smelling sweetly over all this. They are bunch of milk toasts that can't stand up and act like responsible citizens and although they are in the minority they could make noise like a majority and cry CEASE if only to protect their jobs. And don't think they are safe! . Voting can go both ways and maybe we should give the Independents a shot at being the determinates of which way our country should go come election day.

yeah Grandpa! you took the words right out of my mouth. just wait in a few weeks you'll get a sweet little form letter back in the mail saying how much they appreciate your opinion. the silent majority is silet no more!
thanks for posting again I've missed you! Love Polly
Grandpa I've missed your blogs! I agree with you 100 percent. I wish people my age were more involved and new what was happening, maybe then we would be in a better position.
If more people took the time to write and speak their minds I am pressed to believe that the misguided and misdirected initiatives that waste so much time and taxpayer $$$ would be more representative of what the majority want and need. The majority being the hardworking middle class folks that actually pay the taxes, not those that like to voice their opinion yet live off the $$$ that we put into the fund so they can live off it.
Thanks for encouraging us to take the time o speak our minds. It's really never to late, or early to take part in the democratic process.
Love your blog, have missed your posts. Hope you are well and stay well. Hugs from NH! Brenda=)
Amen, and Amen!
