Our Voices

As in War, it is not the Commander or the headquarters who sees the agonies, trials, and tribulations of the decisions they make. It is the Soldier and his brothers and sisters in combat that suffer. As it is in our countries policies not the Commander or Congress but that of the common people who are left to endure the hardships of their decisions. The Soldier and the common people are the same. They are the field. Who better to dictate the successes and failures of the decisions made then those who live it everyday.
  When did we the people lose our voices? Did it come with complacency? Did it come with the sense of feeling that we no longer can make a difference, that we cannot change the way we operate. It is disheartening to see America lose faith in its Government but I truly understand. They have lead us to drink in unseemly debt and toward the feast of foreclosure of a great nation.
  However, it is not lost yet, and we can fight back. We are the people and we have the right to stand up and make corrections. To continue the path for our children, grandchildren and generations to come. If we do nothing then nothing will change. Einstein was quoted to have said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". I believe this to be true of our state of mind as we sit back and allow ourselves to believe that without our involvement the government will change. We need to speak up, we need our voices to be heard.
