Here Goes Nothing

I have never really been the one to stand up and let my voice be heard. I have never really wanted the attention. Of course I haven't always agreed with what has been going on politically in this country, but I always had the hope that someone else would stand up and do something about it for me. This hope of mine was based on the assumption that there were at least a few good politicians left that actually felt that the purpose of their office was to serve their constituents and not themselves. It was based on the assumption that at least a few of the politicians actually shared my viewpoints and held some common values and principles. However, it is becoming more and more obvious that this hope of mine might be ill-founded. So, with growing frustration at what is happening to this country and how I believe it is headed not only down the wrong track but down the complete opposite track that our founders intended it to head down. As recent bills that have passed through our legislative process have bitten their proverbial thumb at personal freedom and instead seek to setup a nanny state in which "all men are paid for existing, and no man must pay for his sins" I have decided that I cannot sit around any longer and hope that the seemingly few remaining politicians that have any integrity left at all will pull of a miracle and restore common sense and seek to uphold the constitution of this great country. I must try and do anything that I can. The only place that I can think of to start right now is to start a blog and pray that by some small miracle I can find people that think like I do and that together we can start something, anything, to try and tell our elected officials that we demand integrity. We demand representatives who actually feel a responsibility to represent their constituents, who try to the best of their ability to live honest lives and seek to honor the history and the future of this great country. This, then, is my first step to try and do my duty to God and my country and exercise my rights as a free citizen and become a little more involved in what is going on. Here goes nothing.
