Save Our Country Make the U-turn Today

John Ervin, OpEdNews [excerpt]
That's how we make a U-turn here, or
anywhere: you take the wheel and turn. And that's how we originally got our
charter two hundred and thirty-two years ago.
It's hard to maintain all the right
focus and energy when there is so much to be done, but if people would worry
less about the shiftlessness and fecklessness of Congress, and more about what
we can do, and empower ourselves to do it, the politicians will be dragged
kicking and screaming in the direction of true representation.
Although voting would be nice, a
listening Congress would be nice, and law would be nice, the key now is to
expose all lies, and to accept no substitutes for what is really protective of
the people's interests. And, as Winston Churchill said, "Never, never,
nerver, never...." surrender.
We have a vote, actually, much greater
than the ones that go, or don't go, into "official" tallies: our
voices and pens, online, on the phone lines, and in the strike lines. It's
just, like "voting" itself, so little exercised, and when it is, by
so few, that the whole "will of the people" has atrophied to a state
of near disuse.
A wise man I know has said, to
congregations: "On the Road to Faith, Fear is the Wrong Exit." And then,
thunderously, he asks, "AND WHAT IS THE RIGHT ONE ??"
And let the people all say, as one,
"Courage."
