Will Massachusetts set the proper example today?

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

It’s becoming more obvious each day that we need to find a way to get this country back in balance. Today we have a chance to make a statement to our ‘elite’ group of leaders in government by voting balance into the U.S. Senate. Hopefully the people of Massachusetts will speak in a truthful and informed manner and bring the political landscape back into balance. We need to ask the following questions of our leaders: (and plenty more)

  1. Is there a need for professional career politicians in the U.S. Government?
  2. I think you agree term limits would make sense right?
  3. Do congressional representatives represent the people or special interests? (as in “We the People)
  4. Why do congress and the president have lavish pensions and health care plans when the people suffer?
  5. Would a flat tax make a lot of sense in terms of offering an increase in U.S. productivity?
  6. Are the public schools performing better today since the DOE, (department of education), was formed?
  7. Why are we bleeding money to the rest of the world through Oil and Trade imbalance? (do we have a plan)

Let’s stand up and speak without fear in this country and make the changes to slow government growth that doesn’t add up with positive results anymore. Politicians need to have more than popularity to lead this great country. We need common sense approaches that make the tough decisions to bring this country back to the people.
