There's an Election this year?

Well fellow Americans it is once again upon us.  What is?  I'm afraid sometimes that is how involved most people are in regards to elections.  I watch television reporters from Jay Leno to Jesse Water's on the O'Reilly Factor ask young Americans who the current Vice President is.  There answer "Umm, George Bush?".  I've even heard people not have a clue about the current President.  Not just his name but his politics, what he stands for; or better yet what he has accomplished.  Regardless of your beliefs when "our", meaning ALL as in plural for "everyone", Founding Fathers decided upon a form of government to give to the people they lay in you hands the single most amount of power that resides in a Republic.  Which by the way we are; a Republic.  Have anyone of you heard the phrase "Violence never solves anything"?  Do you agree or disagree?  I wonder what the City Fathers of Hiroshima would say about force?  What do you think they would say today, right now?  Well, I can tell you the answer with the utmost certainty.  NOTHING!  Why you may ask?  Because in 1945 then President Harry S. Truman gave the order for the first nuclear attack in the history of the world to be carried out over the city of Hiroshima.  Unfortunately President Truman had to give a second and this time a final order to yet again use the deadly force of Nuclear War.  The Japanese surrendered unconditionally shortly thereafter.  In the city of Hiroshima there were a total of 47 hospital's and medical clinics before the United States detonated a nuclear bomb over that city.  In the clearing, 48 to 72 hours later there were only a mere 3 hospital/clinics still standing.  In the blink of an eye and quite literally even faster from the moment the bomb fell up until thousands died from radiation poisoning and cancer in the weeks and months that followed a total of 150,000 people were gone.  Vanished, gone from the earth as if they never existed.  Shadows of where a man had been standing burned by the extreme heat were burnt onto the concrete wall next to the sidewalk where the man was walking the instant the bomb hit.  Footprints burnt into the asphalt of the streets where people had been standing.  No remains, clothing, limbs, hairs, gold fillings, fibers were there because the energy of that bomb was so incredible and the heat the radiated outward from it left nothing in it's path.  I've said all this to illustrate the extreme use of force.  It was used to make the ever determined Japanese surrender and after the second bomb, it did just that.  So then, back to voting.  Is it simply marking an "X", or coloring in an oval with a #2 pencil, or punching a hole in a piece of paper?  NO.  Voting is force, and force is violence, the supreme authority from which all other authority is gained!  So when we as a collective go out to the various places of voting and we cast that vote we are using force.  Force sadly is the only thing politicians have come to fear through the years and respect when they are forced out of office.  They understand it's absolution for they no longer fear the people.  Over the years political parties from both sides have been corrupted, distorted, perverted, barely recognizable from the original intent.  Our silence through those changes have allowed those in power to believe they are indeed the source of their power no matter how great or how limited that power may be.  So then, we must use force!  Force in voting.  A peaceful protest with some signs scribbled with magic marker, everyone chanting in unison does no longer affect the leaders we have allowed to share OUR power.  Even when protests have become violent and the angry mob causes property damage, and destruction of public property, our property; their simply pushed back by the police.  Sure they make a few arrests here and there but a message that the protest was started for in the first place gets lost in the daily news somewhere between weather reports and "Plays of the Game" in sports.  Spun by this newspaper, that blog, on that cable news network, it gets lost.  The politician's that it was aimed at?  They have no clue and set back & enjoy a $100 lunch at a D.C. "A" list restaurant, drive their $80,000.00 dollar "leased" SUV, entertain guests at their Penthouse home away from home many miles from their district and the people therein.  I heard a statistic that between the two parties that to date both campaigns combined are nearing the amount of $1Billion dollars spent on advertising, Campaign HQ's lease, paper clips, buttons, bumper stickers, and so on.  So if we are talking about money in the amounts of hundreds of millions and even a billion, I ask you: Are our Representative's & Senator's anything like the average everyday person that you and I know?  NO!  They have never had to worry about putting a new motor in their car because they can't afford a new one.  They've never worried about if they can pay for the emergency hospital bill.  We buy and provide them with the best insurance our great country can provide.  Do they invest their money on chance or a hunch in the stock market with no prior knowledge or "background knowledge of certain companies new products that only a month ago asked Congress for a grant.  Of which that information is not available to me and you so we take a chance when we put "our" money in the market for we have no prior knowledge of this company or that companies future plans because it was discussed behind closed doors, without reporters, without transcripts that make it public and we weren't invited to set in on the meeting.  Low and behold our congressman does very well on a recent stock investment.  I guess it was just good luck or intuition, right?
  My point is folks that force while there may be many forms of it, we do not use it wisely and we do not use it enough.  Senators in office before I was born and plans to run for another term.  Term limits?  Term limits actually brought before the House, voted on & passes; sent on to the Senate, voted on and passes and signed into law by the President?  Let's not be naive, ok?  It is up to us the voter regardless of your viewpoints, our differences are what makes America great and sometimes that means a different person holding that certain office for it's way past time when they are seeking their 7th term as Senator, or their 15th term as a Representative.  It is time we use force!  Remember force is violence, so lend the eye a terrible vision and let us rise up as one and use that force so that they may remember who their real boss is, and NO, its not the President.  It's You & Me!
