First of all let's begin with the revolving door at the U.S.-Mexico border. For years people have been raped, killed, and just plain dumped into shallow graves in Cludad Juarez, the Mexican city across the border from El Paso, TX.
These perpetrators have gone unpunished by an inept Mexican justice system.
The law enforcement records in Texas and New Mexico reveal that Jose Francisco Granados de la Paz was repeatedly jailed in the U.S. What happened? He was sent back to Mexico time after time. Only to return to the United States and commit more crimes.
On Monday, the U.S. Border Patrol discovered a secret tunnel that I am sure has been used to transport drugs into the United States.
Why am I so sure? Not so surprisingly a Border Patrol agent heard noise Monday from a 30-foot trailer that had been parked 360 yards north of Tecate, California.
What was in the trailer? It was half-full of packages containing marijuana.
There have been dozens of tunnels found along the U.S.-Mexican border yet the border still remains open to this day.
What kind of country are we leaving for our children?
What has the Bush Administration and Congress done about this? NOTHING!!
Decent American families are losing their homes to foreclosure. What has been done so far?
NOTHING!
Credit card companies are raising interest rates even if you've been a good customer and paid your bills on time. What is being done so far? NOTHING!
Dangerous imports of food and toys come into this country consistently. What has been done thus far? NOTHING!
Detroit public school graduation rate is 24.9 percent. Nationwide, 1.23 million high school seniors will not graduate this year. What is being done? NOTHING!
The Michigan jobless rate in May was 6.9 percent, which by the way is the highest in the nation. Michigan lost 28,700 jobs from March through May alone. What has been done? NOTHING!
Detroit has the highest poverty rate among 20 of the largest American cities. The average household income in Detroit is $28,069 and is the lowest among those 20 cities. Can you live on that? No, of course not. What is being done? NOTHING!
Medical care for illegal immigrants in 2004 was $2.2 billion and for their children $2.5 billion, which can only have increased over the past several years. What is being done? Oh gee, let's see -- leave the borders open. So what's been done? NOTHING!
Our wonderful men and women in the front lines are losing their lives every day. What is being done? NOTHING!
Big business and special interest groups are enriching themselves at our expense. What is being done? NOTHING!
We, the middle class, are at the mercy of individuals and companies that provide goods and services and control jobs. What is being done? NOTHING!
The American people are drowning and no one is lifting a finger to help. The country is on a one-way trip downward and not one person in the government is doing a thing to help.
There needs to be changes and quick. Not many of us can hang on much longer.
What can you do? For one thing write your Congressman. Also write the Senate. Let them know we as Americans aren't taking this any longer! We deserve better and we need to fight harder to make change.
Here is where to go and speak up for your rights as an American citizen:

I with you as far as writing your congressmen and senators. The only bad thing is that I have been doing that a lot here lately and all I get in return are computer generated responses that don't even begin to answer the questions that I asked them. Yet, I keep sending them my emails like a dummy! I have come to the conclusion that since I don't fork over the big bucks to my politicians, my voice will never be heard. But I tell you this, the ballet box speaks volumes!

I guess all that we have left is to vote these idiots out of office.
That is the only thing they understand.
Problem is they have already done so much damage to our country.
I hope it isn't too late!
Sharon that would be all well and good if your vote actually counted but you must know by now that your last several elections (pres, Congress etc) were marred by blatant vote fraud, all of which favoured the candidates of big business, Israel and all the usual vested interests that have taken over America. Its going to take something a bit ballsier than feeling good about yourself at the ballot box while they take all the loot and laugh at us thinking we're such good Democratic citizens.
