In Response To: Re: Constitutional Conventions ()

"The focus should be on being an active citizen, expressing your views at the ballot box and in public forums, and doing your part to keep government honest, efficient and responsible. Not as sexy as playing freedom fighter, of course, but certainly more realistic.

But keep your guns to protect your family from criminals."

My sentiments exactly Bryan. The object is to be safe and defended from the bad guy on a personal level. Not some sort of violent overthrow of the government. Control of the government and it's power can only come from intelligent choices in representation and I believe a strong message to those governing of the sensitive and limited powers of their job. It's time we send a message to our politicians (once they were known as statesmen) that their jobs are just as much in jeopardy as the local grocer. We need to contsantly remind and enforce the fact that these people work for us. I always love to hear some senator or representative expound on or be commended for their service to our country. In all actuality the do not serve. The are handsomely paid not only with a salary but with certain power or influence whether actual or perceived. I think the best thing we could do to help the economy of our country is to cut expenses in upper management. There are way too many people "governing" us these days. The number needs to be cut. Government jobs and positions continue to increase when actually the need to be eliminated.
