"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
Edmund Burke 1729-1797
Believe me, I know how hectic life can be in this day and age. However one of the things that has become simple thanks to technology is communicating your views to your elected representatives. All you have to do is click on "Contact your Senator or Representative" and you can find the email addresses for your politicians.
In less than 10 minutes you can send a message to all of your elected officials.
Yeah, 9 times out of 10 you'll get a canned message in reply, but don't think they aren't keeping track of peoples opinions on issues. Because, as we know, their first priority is getting reelected.
One problem for conservative folks has always been we are too busy earning a living to support our families to be very politically active. Thank goodness this national healthcare debate has finally gotten enough people riled up to actually do something. I am not asking you to take a day out of your life to attend a Tea Party or anything like that. I am asking you to take 10 minutes once in a while to let your elected officials know how you feel about current issues.
By the way, www.libertyandpride.com, which is where the "Contact your Senator or Representative" takes you, is an excellent resource. They have the entire Constitution, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and much, much more on there. Check it out.
Thanks!
