Not "By The People" anymore...


It's more like, Congress will determine what is best "For The People" without our voice being heard. Or at least I hope it was heard, it seems it was just not a part of the decision making process in regards to the health care reform that they are forcing on us this weekend.

You all have heard that the majority of Americans don't want this..... I can think of so many reasons and maybe the most important has nothing to do with doctors, nurses, insurance companies or patients..... We're BROKE !! And this is going to cost OVER 1 trillion dollars over 10 years for only 6 years of benefits. What happens after the 10 years is up...... think about it.

I feel very helpless in this world at the moment. Our fate is being decided by congressional members that do not even have to answer to my state. It's March 20, there is about 4 inches of snow on the ground in Kansas, and this winter has such a tight hold on me that I feel compressed and in a way silenced and meaningless.

I have a job, good health, great family, a home, a wonderful wife and I live in America....

Why does that last one seem less important today..... it didn't have to be like this.
