We have to start by letting our politicians KNOW that THEY work for us...not the other way around. And if they do NOT do as we need or even WANT, then they will get NO MORE VOTES... There would definitely be some changes in the Politicians, that is for sure!!!
Start here,....

Email them,.... let them know how you feel. Start a petition, even if by email... and send it to them... and like KS said.... let them know they work for us..... not the other way around.
letters? what what exactly do they accomplish? too little too late most of the time. I have done some very serious thinking on the state of our country since the beginning of this war. yanno what i think it is time for the people to do? START OUR OWN organization,group/party whatever you want to call it.
We slow the process of one move and 3 more moves takes place hidden away in wordy bills right under our noses.WE THE PEOPLE have a right to be represented by WHO WE WANT and how are WE going to achieve this otherwise?
Why couldn't it start right here in the Shoals area? Everything has to start SOMEWHERE!
To Johnt
Well well what do you think about all this.
Everybody and his brother has fussed and cussed about the Hispanics comeing here to live and work. Many people want to herd the Hispanics up and send them back to their homeland. Well now we see that the U.S. says that 7,000 Iraqis need to come here and the U.S. could supply 18 million dollars for resettelement and relief and the United Nations wants 60 million more from other countries around the world.
Now here is what is puzzling to ome. First off, we don't know that the hispanics are making weapons to destroy us and they don't seem to be launching a massive attack upon us, they claim to want to come here and work . Granted there have been some that have got into trouble here, but we got plenty of trouble from the Caucasian and Blacks that are American. But the folks just can't stand the idea of the Hispanics coming here, no no no, got to get rid of those people, they are taking away jobs, buying up the property and buying all the used cars. But here we go and take in a bunch of ragheads who we know had rather see us lying dead in the streets than give us a drink of water. Where is the sense of that?
And as far as giving them more money, well what about all that we have already sent over there and it got spent, wasted or stolen, who knows what went with it? And who over there keeps setting off the car bombs and the artillelry that kills our soldiers? It sure as hell ain't Santa's elves and do you think there is a buch of Hispanics hid out over there trying to knock off the American troops?
I think Mr. Bush knows that he has pissed off a large number of Americans by sending so much money over there and now wanting to send many more soldiers. Hr is a very arogrant man. He knows he has offended a lot of the American people and I think this is just another one of his things to do to rub salt in the woumds. He knows that he can do anything he wants to do and get away with it, and there is nothing the American public can do to stop him. So he just thumbs his nose at the voters. Well, hell , he don't care about the voters, he can't run again , so as far as I can see, he has a clear path in front of him to do exactly as he pleases.
I don't like the idea at all of bringing Iraqis here to live and then have more unemployed and uninsured for my tax dollars to supporty.
My God, the people have drained us dry with the gifts that our government has sent to them, and look at the number of American lives that have been sacrificed for them. I don't want to welcome someone to live here, when I think he is going to plot to destroy my nation and my homeland.
Some of you folks out there are probably about ready to hang me right now, but listen buster, when theyd get here they are going to live next door to your house as same as they live next to mine.
I think this country has enough problems that we shouldn't be worrying about others unless they pose a threat to us or the global community. Like I said, I think this idea of bringing refugees to this country is opening a huge can of worms. These people were displaced from their homes indirectly because of our actions. Now, we offer them ours??? Bad idea.

However, since Bush and admin. started this whole mess, I'm sure they may feel some inkling of pity for these poor citizens whose communities are now an all out battleground due to their lack of planning. They probably thought,"Lets get rid of Saddam, then the world will be a better place, (and we might get more control of the oil)". Ok, Saddam's dead. The world is more unstable. Control of oil??Nothing's changed. But, now there is a whole country turning on itself while being supplied and aided by terrorist factions who we should have been targeting to begin with...

What's the solution?? who knows! I do know that I would like to see our troops come home, not Iraqi refugees! The way this whole "war" is going, it could last for decades.... The people over there have been fighting since bibical times, and will continue to do so til the end of time. Who are we to think we can stop it?

Well, johnt.. hold on to your hat, Iraq refugee's are going to be "INCOMING"... by the droves!

They will be given food stamps, a place to live, a job and about 10 Grand to get started on... .. SAD AND SICK!!! Did anyone forget we were at WAR with these people??? And the ones they will allow over here, will they end up being SLEEPER CELLS????

What a basic MESS UP!!!!!! All the way around!!! Mad

America (The FAT CAT of America I should say) has gotten SO greedy, SO uncaring, SO corrupt that it is amazing that we are still treading water.

The big wheel Politicians only THINK Americans are dummies because we have allowed SO much to go on that no one protested... it is time to show them we are NOT dummies...

WRITE WRITE WRITE, to anyone/everyone you can and say YOU DO NOT GET MY VOTE UNTIL THINGS CHANGE... And IF another Elections comes around with NOTHING done, then YOU ARE OUT!!!!!! Mad

You can believe it or not, but they DO care if they get enough letters saying they would NO LONGER be voted in ... Now is the time we let them know how SMART we really are, instead of sitting around, doing nothing. We can no longer AFFORD to sit around and do NOTHING, they are taking advantage of our "nice" ways, left and right!!!
The black community, in general, has always done a GREAT job in making its displeasure known on various political topics via BOYCOTTS. IMO, writing letters is a WASTE of time. Sure, it makes you FEEL good, but, in the end, NOTHING is accomplished, except MAYBE getting your own personal 'file' started with the FBI. LOL

Hit 'them' where it counts and HURTS: in the wallet.
