Arkansas...Do You Need a Change?

     The 2012 elections are coming up quick and all states have some serious soul searching to do due to the current situation in our political landscape.  While GOP and Democrats alike are arguing over the ACA(Obamacare), who is at fault over The Fast and the Furious fiasco, unemployment, and of course the usual, taxes, what are you doing Arkansas? Have you taken the time and actually read the law http://www.healthcare.gov/law/full/  that will shape the nations healthcare for generations to come?  Do you realize that although this law may not be perfect as a whole that it may be possible to put the right politicians in place that can mold this law into the great bill that it can be?  Have you finally had enough of the way republicans and democrats are becoming one and the same with every passing year?
     Do you, Arkansas, grasp the fact that the American people need to take back our country, but have been going about it in the wrong fashion?  For decades we have elected a POTUS based on the platform he has provided and promises he has not kept.  Well now is the time to change that path of destruction that has led to this sad predicament we reside in as citizens of what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world.  If you do not approve of the way that government is run, then educate yourself on the way your representatives are voting on your behalf.  if they are not voting in your best interest, then you need to eliminate the incumbents that are ignoring your wishes.
     All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives are up for re-election this November.  If you do not approve of how Congress has performed then as educated voters, we can make a difference.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?

As you can see by the above Gallup poll, numbers for both republicans and democrats are in the tank.  The only way to change the direction of our government is to start voting from bottom to top.  The POTUS, being Obama, or possibly Romney, need the backing of the House and Senate in order to carry out their promises and be the leader they have set out to be.  No POTUS can survive as a lame duck and that is exactly what Obama has become. He has been fought tooth and nail and bashed on so many issues that there is no possibility of change.  Do yourself and the nation a favor and actually go to http://www.arkansashouse.org/members and research the representatives in your district that you live and make sure they are working FOR you, not for peronal gain.  Understand that by voting in your local, state and federal elections that change will eventually happen.
     Your state motto being Regnat Populus, The People Rule, is a very meaningful phrase to live up to.  Do you follow that motto?  Or do you blindly elect your leaders based on name recognition or simply party affiliation?  Maybe it is time to take back your government and let the fools who we have elected in the past know that we will not tolerate this pathetic display of infighting.  Register to vote at http://www.sos.arkansas.gov/elections/Pages/voterRegistration.aspx and let the people rule once again and do not let it be a #saddayforusa2012.  By educating yourself to the truth instead of what the politicians want you to believe as truth, you will give yourself, your neighbor, and your country the opportunity for true peace and prosperity.
