I am mad as the dickens over the way people who oppose President Obama have managed to control the dialogue on Television and Radio in regards to his policies.
We the grassroots that took back our country, need to step up once again and carry the fight to those right wing nuts.
We need to write our local media outlet, whether its just a weekly paper, television or radio station our the local cable network outlet. We need to tell our representatives how we feel.
If we had desired tax cuts and conservative policies we would have elected McCain and what’s her name. We didn’t we voted to save jobs, we voted for small business policies that made sense, we voted to cut off corporate greed.
Most of all we want Congress to compromise and find a working balance that employees out of work Americans, we want a stimulus plan that builds and repairs infrastructure not only for the here and now but for our children and grandchildren so they can be employed as well. And most of all we in the low and middle income class’ want a stimulus package that puts funds in our hands so that we can pay down debt, and purchase not only necessities but a few frills that would kick start the economy once again.
The opposition acts like the Obama plan is already in place and it was a failure. Why? Because they want to maintain their positions of power and control.
What has happened to all of you who claim to have been part of the revolution that put Obama in the White House? Where are all the phone calls and organized groups that should be leading the support for President Obama. Lets give the man a chance to prove himself right or wrong.
Michael Steele, the RNC Chairman said the government never created a job. Is this guy blind or just ignorant. Even I who wasn’t even born during the depression, knows that hundreds of thousands were put to work for the government, building structures for parks and educational institutions, yes and even homes were built of native stone clear across this country. Another example was the Hoover Dam, not only was it the new energy generator of its day, but is still producing power today, this is the type of jobs that government can provide and should.
Lets don’t forget the National Interstate Highway System created under President Eisenhower that is still the vital transportation corridors that it claimed 50 years ago it would become. These are examples of the intelligence used by both Republican and Democratic Administrations in planning for the future, they provided jobs then and are still providing jobs today.
These were the stimulus packages of yesteryear, and they did stimulate our economy in such a way that great commerce emerged that was the foundation for today’s technology.
Ignorance such as exhibited by Mr. Steele is the reason that you and I and everyone we know should be making phone calls, marching in the streets, going door to door and building a national wave of support for President Obama and his plans to change America into the great country it once was.
