Now we hear about a tax to pay for the build up of troops for the war in Afghanistan. Maybe it’s time to get out – none of us can afford it – none of US!

President Obama – it is time to take ownership for your promise of change – change we can believe in. It appears to us that politics  in Washington is being conducted no different than before President Obama came into office.

The so called amendment to the Health Care Reform bill that appears to appease a Senator from Louisiana who was “on the fence” about voting to move the bill forward to debate – is that change we can believe in?

The credit card companies that are increasing interest rates while limiting credit and imposing additional charges before legislation goes into effect – is that change we can believe in?

The health insurance companies increasing rates at 30% year-over-year rate in anticipation of legislation – is that change we can believe in?

Those fortunate enough to have something left in a retirement fund have seen it erode by as much as 50% – is this change we can believe in?

And now a war tax? Is this the change we voted for? How much more can we take? People can’t get jobs; their home value is less than the debt on their home; and we keep getting hammered by the credit card and health insurance companies! 

President Obama – we don’t have much left. It is now time to stand up for the American people and give US the leadership we expected. It’s time to give direction to Congress – the American people are losing their hope for change and their trust in the elected Representation in Washington.

If we really want something to be thankful for this Thursday – it would be that Washington truly become responsible to WE THE PEOPLE.
