So, 2011 was full of trials and tribulations, right?  "Be sober, be vigilant, because our adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" 1 Peter 5:8 KJ  

We Americans that see the future of our children and grandchildren compromised are at the ready, we won't back down without a fight.  Every American (and I don't mean to preach to the choir) needs to be on board and ready to take this situation seriously. We have a corrupt system in DC and in our respective state capitals, they are pushing bills through at an alarming rate in an effort to inflate their importance and power. My take on it anyway. The reasons we have representatives in the first place has been lost and it's now a power trip of crooked politicians. Yea, we have a few good ones. And occasionally we send great representatives but they fall under the pressure or persuasion of those in the know. We busy Americans are overwhelmed by how much needs to be done to help support or vote down proposed bills. Tea Parties were born all over our nation, because We the People are tired of being stepped on and disregarded. We aren't racist, we aren't any particular party, although we are mostly conservatives, we are there to share information on bills and laws, government agencies run amuck and our current happenings in DC. No matter what political party you belong to, please join a Tea Party or at least share info with friends and family. Pick something to research and share it on FB, BigDawg Music Mafia or Twitter. We need to make 2012 the year of We the People - taking control of the direction of our future. Not the year of Marxism, Fascism, Socialism, but We the People restoring freedom and liberty the way our Founding Fathers envisioned it. God bless those that have gone before us, fighting for those freedoms and God bless us as we go forward into battle again for those same freedoms and liberties. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN, WE ARE AMERICANS!!! And just a last remark; if you aren't proud of America and being an American, do us all a huge favor and move to another country!
