WE BEGIN TO HELP ONE ANOTHER BY SPEAKING OUR TRUTH AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE, ONE STEP AT A TIME!

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO SPEAK OUT? TO TAKE A STAND, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE?

August 8, 2009 by Marty Hermes | Edit

I know many of you could care less about ““my perspectives, but that doesn’t stop me from exercising my FREEDOM OF SPEECH….So, yes, here I go again….What is it going to take for all of us experiencing the after shock of a corrupt government, blatant cover ups in all venues, of greed within the ranks of CEO’s to take actions that will be heard?

APATHY IN AMERICA……the disease that will kill a powerful nation!!!! That’s right, no bones about it, all your excuses don’t hold water: I don’t have time to write a letter; I don’t have my congressman’s address or phone number; no one will listen to me anyway; I am too busy trying to survive; I just lost my job and am grieving; I lost my home and have no where to live; My children’s lives are in danger in school, how can I worry about what they are being taught and by whom; I don’t have a computer; My pencil needs sharpening and I can’t afford a sharpener; I am only a peon…….etc…etc….etc.

Are you Apathetic or Making a Difference? 

Well folks, let’s put it this way……You NOW HAVE NO CHOICE but to become involved, to make your voices heard….all of us are in this sinking ship together, unrealistically reported and excruciatingly high Unemployment Statistics. Followed by a Health Care Program being put into affect by a  Presidential order that will ALLOW the members of GOVERNMENT TO BE EXEMPT from the nationwide health care plan and keep the better benefits they now enjoy, while a board of appointed people decide if you are entitled to a needed by-pass surgery! open gates into this country on all borders with millions of unregistered  foreign people who not only will receive medical care, but who do not pay taxes and who are illegally here. The quality of our educational system lowered and foreign students wishing to practice medicine get a free college ride under the premise they will return to there own country to practice, when in fact they remain here while our native citizens with the same desire for a career, are charged an arm and a leg to get their medical degree. Ridiculous and time consuming Lawsuits abounding because not one of us has the guts to “buck  the system“……we have been taught to live and to not to rock the boat,we often live  in a fearful way of speaking out…..of accepting, not DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY FROM OUR ELECTED LAWMAKERS!!!!! Our country, once the giant of the free world, crumbling before our very eyes…..

It’s NOT that you don’t have an opinion is it? You are boiling mad, disillusioned and fed up…..you talk about it at the water coolers, the cafe, the dinner table, in car pools and at the ball games…..you loudly give your opinion…..some of you voted, some did not…..But election time is coming for the real POWERS THAT BE…..THE CONGRESS AND REPRESENTATIVES.…and WE have the opportunity to be heard, to put a stop to this rampant printing of money and elimination of jobs while giving bonus’ to high executives of the huge corporations and lenders we just bailed out; to put caps on the cost of fuel and energy; we have the RIGHT TO BE HEARD……to speak out…..to gather in townhall venues with congress. To DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY in our representation. We after all are the ones who cast our votes and elected them with promises often bought off and unkept! Isn’t that the truth?

This site, is noted for it’s growing strength in spreading the TRUTH….what is not made public in our traditional media coverages it seems:

  AFA ( American Family Association)began video-streaming AFRTalk live over the Internet.

●  AFA became one of the first Christian ministries to employ Internet television by launching two channels, the AFA Channel and the Home School Channel, in conjunction with Sky Angel IPTV, a global Christian-based Internet television service.  Both channels broadcast wholesome and/or educational programming with a decidedly Biblical worldview.

●  AFA used its formidable Internet presence to promote Tax Day (April 15) TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party rallies in over 1,000 cities across America.  

2008

●  In response to Proposition 8, the California referendum that would amend the state’s constitution to protect marriage as being only between a man and a woman, AFA produced a 30-minute documentary supporting the ballot measure and distributed it at no cost to 21,000 churches in California. The video was written and produced by AFA staffers for a small fraction of typical production costs. The video proved to be a valuable tool in the passage of Proposition 8. 

●  AFA helped produce video documentaries explaining complex and long-standing issues such as the growing anti-Christian bias in America and the push by homosexual activists for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Partnering with The Inspiration Networks (INSP), AFA helped produce a 14-part documentary series titled Speechless … Silencing the Christians. The TV series, also available on DVD, exposes the ugly reality of bias against Christians and urges believers to speak out and put an end to the silencing

I have never been one to be APATHETIC…..I once wrote the only letter read at a hearing for rate increases in the State of Michigan and the outcome, the judge DENIED the increase…..saving my fellow citizens, neighbors and taxpayers, thousands of dollars in additional increases…..based on MY one letter. Your voice is heard and it is possible to turn the tide….

If my one letter could do that, imagine what a letter from YOU could do?

You can be heard…..you can make a difference…..None of us can afford any longer to sit back in our lazy-boy and assume all is well….It is far from well and only getting worse…..Will you do your part, with a phone call, an email (you don’t even need a stamp), a hand posted letter, a local town hall meeting and stand up and be counted as one of us who believes strongly in our morals, values, and the accountability of government elected and appointed officials, not choosing to be dictated to by the governmental powers?  Or will you continue to choose your apathetic stance until it’s too late?

YOU DO HAVE CHOICES …..and FREEDOMS…..Let’s see what kind of power “WE THE PEOPLE” ACTUALLY DO HAVE….Just do something, talk about this blog and others like it,  to co-workers, friends, neighbors, spread the word and take some kind of action, before it’s too late to do anything! I for one will not sit back and watch America crumble, allowing all the lives risked and sacrificed for freedom and the American Dream to be for naught…..will you?
