Like many of you, I get most of the news from FOX News Channel. In fact, at least one of the five televisions in my house is always on FOX...and has been since 9-11-01. So, to tell you that I have been sitting here "facebooking" with FOX on in the background, is nothing new.

Today, as with most days lately, I hear the show commentators and their guests mulling over the latest polls..who is leading who in what race. Commenting on all the different issues and trying to guess what they may or may not mean in the upcoming mid-term elections. Will this or that "hurt" one or the other of the political parties. Will we voters "remember" this, that or the other thing that Congress has done...what Obama has done..or not done. Are we voters angry? Will that anger show in the elections? Are we more concerned about the economy or are we mostly concerned with homeland security and the war on terrorism? Are we upset about all the spending ...the bailouts...the pork...my my...what IS bothering all of us..and..will we remember November 2, 2010!?! Is THIS the year of the newcomers to the Washington scene? Is it anti-incumbent? JUST what are we the voters thinking of...they keep asking, over and over.

Answer: WE ARE THINKING OF ALL OF THOSE THINGS! Yes, we ARE angry...and NO, we will NOT forget WHY we are angry.

We remember last summer, when we begged...pleaded..called our representatives...marched on D.C. and DEMANDED that Congress honor the U. S. Constitution and OUR wishes to VOTE DOWN the healthcare bill. We REMEMBER how we were ignored. We watched as Pelosi made her victory lap to the halls of Congress, gloating with every step. We have not forgotten that the bill was NOT even read by a majority of the Congress nor the Senate. We have not forgotten for one moment her, "...we have to pass the bill to find out what is in it..." comment. We have not forgotten that votes for the healthcare bill were BOUGHT ..to be paid for by US. We have not forgotten those "favored" by the passage of the bill....and we have NOT forgotten that the bill was not even about healthcare but a huge power grab, not only over our healthcare but over one of the most private and sensitive aspects of our lives...and as always..it was about MONEY. The redistribution of the "wealth" ..from those who work hard and EARN it..to those who do not...and have not earned it.

We have screamed, "STOP THE SPENDING!" We have watched as we are again, ignored. We, as the common folk, know that when our bank account is depleted, we STOP writing checks. We cut up our credit cards and we make financial choices for our survival. We do NOT keep spending what we do not have. We know that you cannot SPEND your way out of bankruptcy. Truth is..over spending and over reaching ones financial means is HOW you end up in bankruptcy.........HELLOOOO! So, Congress' and the Senate's ignorance of math..and disregard for common sense or maybe the LACK of it..has been noticed, and will NOT be forgotten. EVER.

It has not been lost on us that Obama went to China..hat in hand and the other hand out...asking FOR a hand out. It is not lost on us that we now owe way more than we can repay to China. A communist country..our enemy, and what a horrible and very delicate and vulnerable position that places America in. How can one stand up in strength to an enemy that, for all intents and purposes..OWNS YOU?! It is also not lost on us that to go down to the basement and just print up more paper money only reduces our currency to the value of Monopoly money. A dollar bill with nothing to back it up is just another piece of useless paper.

We also were paying attention when Obama traveled to countries less than friendly to America and apologized for America....and for what? For being strong? For being the beacon of FREEDOM? For rushing to everyone's aid when they needed it...for the graves in Europe of OUR men and women who gave their lives for others' freedom from tyranny and oppression? For...believing in the free market and personal responsibility? For...being the success that we have been the last 200+ years? We watched as he bowed to kings of other countries. We have watched and listened to his admonishment of the American spirit and dreams. These things will not be forgotten.

We have watched as he has taken over our banks, our automotive industry, our healthcare and taken steps to control our businesses. We have also noticed the things that neither Congress, the Senate nor Obama has done. We have noticed that NONE of them have honored their Oath of Office....to defend and protect our country and our Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. We have watched as they have made a mockery of our laws designed to do just those things. We are watching as they SUE our states for enforcing not only state laws but FEDERAL laws. They want those of US who DARE to oppose their actions in this regard, investigated. I suppose that is easier than DOING THEIR JOB!

We have noticed the preferences to terrorists, first by their refusal to even identify them for what they are..TERRORISTS, then by such actions as dropping cases against them, setting them free to perhaps succeed another day in their attempts to kill as many Americans as they can and further their destruction of our country.

We have noticed their inaction as our country is being invaded by ILLEGAL aliens; their refusal again, to protect our country from enemies. Help was promised to Arizona. Another promise broken.

And the list goes on and on..and grows daily. The bottom line is...we the people..the voters ...consider ALL of these issues. We have NOT forgotten, nor will we. Those running for office will be best served if they keep this in mind. If you are an incumbent, rest assured, you do NOT have job security, even if you voted our way. In your way, you have facilitated all of this by NOT standing up strongly to the socialist agenda in play. We have had enough of political correctness. It will get Americans killed! It is way past time to call things as they ARE...not try to paint pretty pictures. No matter how many coats of lipstick you smear on a pig..it is STILL a pig.

For those new folks entering the political arena..we WILL be watching you. We expect and DEMAND honor and integrity! We will watch every move you make..we will listen to every word you say and everything you do NOT say. We ARE AWAKE. If you are elected, we will watch your every stance and vote on every issue. We expect TRUE REPRESENTATION. If we scream NO...you best pay attention. We will NOT EVER be ignored again. We will NOT tolerate being dismissed and "talked down to" again.

So...to you candidates and to those in the media...do not ever under estimate "we the people"...do not think that we have the attention span of a gnat...and that we cannot chew gum and walk at the same time. We are paying attention to ALL of the issues! We are coming together as never before. In fact, if there is ONE good thing about the last 20 months, it is the unification of the majority of the American people. It is the rebirth of the TRUE American spirit. It has been a hard lesson learned that we cannot afford to sleep ever again, taking our freedom for granted. GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA!
