Here is a great commentary from Traction Control. You will also find another link to Say Anything by Jay W. I asked if I could borrow these and got permission. Traction Control has been added to the blogroll. BTW, U.S. Citizen at Traction Control is a licensed gun dealer, likes to shoot and has a GREAT inventroy. If you go to his blog you will find a link on the sidebar to his commercial site. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Say Anything: This Time, Our Sin Wasn’t Apathy

From Jay W. at: Say Anything:

Snippet:
If the health care bill fight has taught us one thing, it’s that the federal government doesn’t care about you. Your opinion doesn’t matter. Your opposition doesn’t matter. Your voice doesn’t matter…

Read the whole thing at the link above.

From U.S. Citizen:

It was not “our sin” that empowered Congress to pass the Intolerable Act that is the Healthcare Reform bill. The “Sin” is upon our so-called “representatives”.

Inured to the criticisms of protests throughout our recent history by groups such as ELF, NOW, G8 protesters, Cindy Sheehan, John Kerry, and others like them, Washington has become “hard-wired” and predisposed to dismiss any opposition from common protesters, the rabble from the street.

Note to Washington: That was your first mistake.

What Washington has not yet realized is that The Tea Party Movement is a fundamentally different type of protest.

It is comprised of U.S. Citizens who are actually concerned about the direction our country is taking.

Our crowds are not “bussed-in” from the inner cities; instead, we fly in from all over the country. We don’t “skip work” to attend; we are more likely to declare a plant-holiday for the day so that we may attend.

We don’t take pre-printed signs or carry a list of talking points for a daily “activist” fee. Instead, we make our own signs and speak our own minds. Admittedly, sometimes the signs and the shouts get too close to the truth that we are communicating. (We readily apologize for messages that are off-topic and unnecessarily offensive.)

By way of introduction to our representatives in Washington, may I present the new protesters who are standing up for the ideals of America:

WE THE PEOPLE

We are – by and large, affluent. Able to easily span the Continent for a Tea Party event – with under 48 hours notice.

We are – by and large, informed. Able to discuss the details of out concerns, citing statute, section and paragraph of the issues at hand.

We are – by and large, influential. This message for example may be linked 200 times today to 200 more articles to be read by 4,000,000. These few paragraphs of truth may propagate faster than the boldest of lies printed by the media.

We are – by and large, unforgiving. Hypocrisy is not a trait we value in our representatives. If you represent your constituents, you have our praise; if not,may your damnation be eternal.

We are – by and large, alert to the tactics employed in Washington that threaten our rights.

And we are – all of us, now watching your next move.

Choose wisely.

WE THE PEOPLE will not be silent. And We Will Prevail.
