Facebook Politics are killing me!!!



 All this talk about Hobby Lobby, The Supreme Court, freedoms becoming allowances, rights being taken away and ObamaCare... Feed is Flooded!!! 

 "Bro, do you even VOTE?!?!?!" Do you know how the system is being played and stacked against you? There is a battle going on, but it's not over seas(that's to keep you distracted)... it's right here. Our Government is not working for us, but rather against us, strategic moves are being made and have been for years, but we don't take the time to see what is happening and it's making us look like fools to the rest of the world. Not that we need help, Education, Health and the Standard of Living that most people accept is at an all time low. How did we come to this? Why?!?!

 BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO VOTE, OR DO THE RESEARCH ON THE OFFICIALS YOU DO VOTE INTO OFFICE TO RUN YOUR LIFE!!! ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE? THINK AGAIN.

 Wanna make a difference? Find out what YOU(or someone with your best interests) need's to do to become a Part of the Senate or The House of Representatives. There are some minimal requirements...

 The legislative branch of the U.S. government consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has 100 members: 2 senators from each of the 50 states. The House has Approx 435 members; the representatives are elected based on the population of each state. To be a senator, you must be at least 30 years old, a resident of the state you represent, and a US citizen for at least nine years. To be a Representative, you must be at least 25 years old, a resident of the state you represent, and a US citizen for at least seven years. Senators serve terms of six years; Representative serve terms of two years. (They can run for their position as many times as they like, I.e. there are no term limits as there are for the presidency). The two jobs that only the Senate can do are approve or reject anyone the President recommends for a job in government, and act as a jury in an impeachment trial. The two jobs that only the House can do: start bills which concern taxes (Article I, Section 7 of the US Constitution) , and decide if a government official can be impeached. The president of the the Senate is the Vice-President, and in his absence, the president pro tempore. The leader of the House is the Speaker of the House.

 But before all that, do you know where you can start? When you become 18, REGISTER TO VOTE!!! And make it a point to vote in every election. Let your voice be heard! I realize it takes away from your TV, Cell Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Starbux, Mall Shopping and Video Game time. You may not be able to fit into the Voting Booth in your CosPlay Outfit or on your Rascal since a Dozen burgers a day put you in it. And I know, I know, I know... you will have to DVR your Honey Booboo, Duck Dynasty, American Idol and whatever other crap you stare longingly at on the Idiot Box. But you will be a part of something Greater. The Democratic Process!!! I have always believed in this process, I grew up learning about what separates our nation from the rest of the world and where we have failed ourselves at times... But we have the tools and the documents to return our Nation to Glory!

 Our Nation is Sick right now... The only way to make it better is to start working together. Being involved in the Process is Vital to the Survival of our way of Life! It's beyond "Them want to take our Guns", "They're poisoning us in our food", "Where's my Bailout", "Keep Marriage Sacred","That Damned ObamaCare"... the list goes on and on. Stop being a part of the Tool that is dividing us and start being a part of the Solution that can bring us together and help heal our nation. Think about that as we go into the Month of July. I will post links on how you can contact our Senators and Representatives, where you can research what Laws are being Voted on and those that got passed right under your nose. Let's not lose the Freedoms we still have and let's help protect the rights a freedoms of those around us.

 Anyhow, I'm getting off my soap box. Have a Happy 4th of July Everyone.

PEACE.
