When the smoke cleared and the votes were counted on November 2nd, 2010 the people had spoken. The midterm elections brought a record number of people out to vote in certain areas and very close election results caused recounts and delays in announcing a winner A vote for change, real change that's been long overdue is just now taking its hold in America. For too long the federal government has been expanding its shadow over its citizens in an attempt to govern over our lives and too long the majority in this country has been silent, but no longer.
In President Obama's State of the Union speech he talked of working with both parties to "Win the Future". His first two years the president and his party, the Democrats ruled like a dictatorship. They did whatever they deemed proper. Consequently the voice of the people fell on deaf ears and the Republican politicians were left powerless to be involved in any decision making. This no longer being true, our government leaders will now have to work together on both sides of the floor as representatives of the people and not for special interest groups.
As Americans we need keep our eyes open and listen to our leaders. We need to be informed about what is going on and what is being decided on in Washington. We must demand that these elected officials keep the promises they made that got them elected. We the people are no longer Democrats, Republicans or Independents, we are Americans who are concerned about the health and welfare of our country. We all love to hear a good speech, one that motivates us,one that makes us feel better about ourselves but words are only words. I once read, "A man who thinks and doesn't act is ineffective. A man who acts and doesn't think is dangerous". This describes our whole political system, great ideas with no followup and laws such as the new health laws being enacted without any thought of the possible consequences.
Our country is great because of its freedoms. Because of the freedoms we enjoy in this great land we are able to join together in times of need and use our innovative thinking and sense of purpose to rise to the challenges we face as a nation. Our country is strong because its backbone is made up of courageous men and women who come here from all over the world to become Americans and live the American dream.
