If not us, who? If not now, when?

If not us, who? If not now, when?

All of us came here because we knew the country couldn't go on the way it was going. So it falls to all of us to take action. We have to ask ourselves if we do nothing, where does all of this end. Can anyone here say that if we can't do it, someone down the road can do it, and if no one does it, what happens to the country? All of us know the economy would face an eventual collapse. I know it's a hell of a challenge, but ask yourselves: If not us, who? If not now, when? ~Ronald Reagan

Please Vote! It is your right. It is a right that many have fought very hard for, many have died for! Do not take it for granted. One week from today, you have the ability to have your voice heard; legally. Please vote November 2nd, for yourself, for your children and for your country.

Steve...I think the Silent Majority has been quiet too long thinking the sentiments you just wrote about.  Look what happened when we aren't silent any longer, Nov. 2 will be our voice.

Susan- I could tell He believed in the principles he spoke about, and in the words he spoke. I cannot honestly say that about many of our politicians. We need good people to stand up and speak out.

Lois- I have actually met people who did not vote in the last election. I am looking forward to the beginning of reform and cleansing, starting next Tuesday!

Mike- It's a favorite of ours also.  Glad to share such an uplifting measage of personal responsibility & self reliance!

People forgot that going from "bad" to "worse" is the change many asked for... they didn't bother to ask what would be changed. 

Now we have to turn it around...

Steve: There are alot of established, long standing Congress People, who will be voted out next week. My guess is some will stay in DC and continue to effect our lives in some way.

 

Lane: It's like we listed our house with an Agent, and he started the house on fire, and transposed the numbers of the List Price ($009,942.), and put the sign through the sprinkler line; and then blamed it all on the retired Realtor who sold you the house. It starts next week and contiues through until Janaury 2012, at least.
