This beautiful and great country of ours will, in the next few years, cease to be the shining beacon that it has been for the last 3/4 of a century or so. No longer will other countries look to the U. S. for leadership as they have in the past. No longer will they admire our ingenuity or the industriousness of our people. We already no longer enjoy the high moral ground and no longer can we control the forces that have taken over the helm of our government. Those that we have trusted and have voted for to represent us have not been able to resist the lure of the money that has been lavished upon them.
We have seen money used to change the truth into a lie for so long now that even if those who have been blinded by it wanted to see the truth, they couldn't see it. They have willingly made themselves blind for the sake of the almighty dollar. In a certain book that I read it says that "the love of money is the root of all evil". In watching the actions of many of our politicians I would have to believe that this is true. They have their hands out to whatever interest will contribute to their campaigns. They have turned their backs on their constituents in order to satisfy the demands of those corporations who are able contribute so much to them. Money is no longer the means to an end, it is the means and the end.
It may not be too late yet, but it soon will be if there is not a concentrated effort to force those we elect to listen to the voices of the peole. Not only that, but we must also figure out a way to make the U. S. Supreme Court responsive to the citizens of this country rather than the corporations. We must make them see that their recent ruling (citizen's united) that corporations can contribute unlimited amounts of money to campaigns is not in the best interest of this country. The corporations united against the citizens of the United States. It's like the corporations have written a new constitution themselves. Maybe we can find a way to nullify the courts decisions until they can see the error of their ways. I know it can be done. It's time for the people to make known to their congressmen that we want them to do something about the Supreme Court and we want to hear them speaking out loudly on all the news shows and talk shows that will give them air time. They can begin by introducing bills to revoke their lifetime job status. After all, if they refuse to look out for the best inerests of the citizens they don't deserve to be on the Supreme Court anyway. Let's play hardball with them! We the citizens need to start blogging, tweeting and writing letters to the editors of our local newspapers and let everybody get an eyeful. They will have to see and hear what we are talking about! Make it a constant stream. Where there's a will there's a way! We can't just give up without a fight. And if the fight is delayed until after the 2012 elections and the republicans win the senate, the question will not be "if it will happen", but "how long will it take" for the U. S. to belong to the corporations? The answer is "only a couple of years".
The ball is in your court America. Make your voices heard. You did it in response to the republicans attempt to privatize social security and medicare. Make them hear you on every other issue. Time is running out!
