Where are the Republicans?
I hear nothing but crickets. Here we have the Democrats and President Obama trying to work out the House and Senate versions of the health bill behind closed doors in secret and nothing from the Republicans.
They should be calling for demonstrations on the capitol steps and be out there leading them. Yes, I know, it’s cold. But what price do you put on freedom?
Somehow, the Republicans think they can march to power based on the resistance to the legislation being passed by the Democrats. And perhaps they can pick up a few seats by remaining quite. But I, along with millions of other Americans want some passion. Show me that you really believe that our freedom is being stomped out in secret.
If I continue to hear nothing but crickets from my representatives, then I will work to vote them out, regardless of party affiliation. Get busy. Email, fax, phone, snail mail, visit your representative’s local office. Let them know how you feel. Or just sit back, oil your lips and prepare to kiss your freedoms goodbye.
