The last couple of posts had to do with my representative, Byron, contacting me…….and then ….nothing. I see that he and another representatives have been working on possibly getting a bill passed to make it a little easier to purchase long guns…has been written and entered but nothing more…..at least I hope not…..
Where is Byron, my bud, and where is yours? Am I the only one who is forgotten…..99,9% of the time and then, when contacted, sent the most ridiculous questions imagined……Does your government contact you in any way even once or twice a year?
For all they know I am dead….or following another party….or living in Brazil…..I don’t know how to get their attention, except to not vote for them. I don’t honestly think that will make any difference cause they will move on to a lawyer’s office somewhere and I will get another dud who doesn’t contact me, and so on, and so on.
I bet if someone called you today and asked you to come to Washington…or the state capitol and work on solving the problem of your choice….you’d be packing and out the door in less than 24 hours….You would contact people all around your area, regardless of politics and ask them for suggestions on how to solve your ONE LITTLE PROBLEM you’ve been given to work on…..You would talk to housewives, blue and white collar, business owners in your town and in a larger one close by, police officers, the mayor and city council, and even another politician or so, even those from another party…..
Yep, you’d be out there and also you would be proud to represent and work for all the above…..What has happened….where did we go wrong voting for who we voted for? Or….at what point in his/her political life did they become brain dead and go for the me, me, me choice in handling our lives.
And, to top it all off, who do you call, write, or see in person, to help alleviate or just START to make a change for a person of positive influence? Party people (that’s political) LOL (come to think of it maybe the ‘party people’ might not be such a bad idea…..anyhow…..Your county, state, or the federal government “uncle sam” himself….again whoever that is…
I think this is like the situation I was in with a variable interest account when first married…..The government told/explained that the rates could COULD go up in increments of like a half point and it could also go down……Guess what, it went up but never went down when everything else was going down. I was young and maybe stupid but I started calling my bank at the lowest level and the loan people and then the state and then the big BIG BIG in San Francisco who supposedly held all the cards.
Guess what i got from each and all…..NOTHING, NADA, NO, DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, and on and on. I bet today if you wanted to find out how a variable interest loan works and at one point does it go down…..you would get NOTHING, NADA, NO, AND WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT…….anyhow
So send ideas….names, telephone numbers with real people answering, who have an answer to how we get things going down the right road to a better democracy…..If you choose to handle it yourself, please, please, do and drop me a line so I can pass it on…..
Meanwhile, I hope my representatives are embarrassed. They have done nothing for me plenty to me.. They have a petty cash drawer….send me (us) how and why you voted …..especially the ‘why’ Am not interested in a yea or nay…..in the meantime, I’ll watch the fuel and prices rise, the long gun idea, the immigrants staying in 5 start hotels, and getting top of the line medical when my neighbors can’t, and how FEMA can change their rules and make them retro active…..
later … oh yes, forgot an important statement…..THERE IS NO DOUBT….NONE…NADA….THAT WHEN YOU CONTACT YOUR FELLOW PEOPLE, YOU’LL FIND THAT DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN ALIKE, 85% OF THEM WILL FEEL THE SAME AS YOU!!!
THEREFORE i SAY …… THINGS REPUBLICANS STAND FOR OR BACK ARE NOT ALL THE THINGS I STAND FOR OR BACK…..JUST LIKE BEING METHODIST…..THINGS THEY STAND FOR ARE NOT ALL THE THINGS I STAND FOR….DO NOT THROW US IN A BUNDLE NAME…….WE ARE US, NOT THEM IN MANY WAYS
