Officials must heed public's discontent

| June 20, 2009 9:00 PM

We the people are coming. We don’t come with violence but hear us, we are angry.

We have trusted you, our elected officials, to manage the responsibility of government while we work and manage our families and business. You have grown too big and corrupt. You have forgotten why you are there.

We are coming out of the woodwork, the silent majority, the ones you thought were too busy to care, the ones who quietly work and pay the taxes, the ones who vote and obey the law. You who have betrayed our trust and the offices you hold and will be replaced by people that honor the Constitution and represent we the people, regardless of any party affiliations.

The radical minority, that has bankrupted the treasury with entitlements  to be paid to mostly undeserving creatures for their votes, is on the way out. You have gone too far and you have awakened a sleeping giant,  we are forced  to take time away from family and work and get organized to replace you.

Start getting it right or you will be fired.
