I love it! I'm just sitting here wondering what more is it going to take to get the majority of Americans to stand up against this absolute madness

1.STOP SPENDING MONEY! All we have been hearing for months is how bad our economy is, yet every time I turn on the tv I see NEW spending plans, no mention of looking "line by line" at what can be cut or scaled back. The Universal Health Care plan alone could bankrupt us, why OH WHY would they even consider doing this now?? We can't afford the Medicare/Medicaid system we already have in place, it's madness!
2.If something is going to fail, LET IT FAIL FOR GOODNESS SAKES! Our country's foundation should be founded in the best companies, ones doing the right things, advancing innovation and helping our economy thrive, the failing ones are now simply dragging the rest down with them. It is natural evolution for crying out loud. When a company comes along that can do something better, faster, cheaper etc. it should be allowed to succeed and the ineffective or outdated ones should either make the necessary changes or simply be allowed to fail.
3. I believe it should be illegal for elected members of our government to receive money from lobbyists to push agendas. This keeps our lawmakers tied to these group simply out of greed, and the lobbyists are simply buying votes.
4. All of our elected officials should pay into our social security system, the majority should not be paid their salaries for life~give them the same retirement options we as citizens have, we should make sure ALL of these people are paying their taxes and if they are foolish enough to pass through Universal Health care, they should be required to be covered by it also, MAYBE THEN THEY WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE VOTING FOR THESE THINGS! As it stands right now, they have no personal or vested interest causing them to really think before they vote, with the exception of keeping their lobbyists happy so they can get re-elected.
America, SPEAK UP!!! We need to do this now before it is too late
