The Bill has Passed…

…as we all knew it would.  They porked it up good, put lipstick on the pig, and all the rest.  They would have done this for the next year if they had to to get this passed.

The sheep will be happy because the DOW will respond somewhat favorably for the time being.  Of course, the DOW really has nothing to do with this right now.  While the sheep and the traitors in Congress and the Senate are attempting to keep the DOW up, the people who have pulled their heads out long enough to see the real problem are trying to keep our nation up.

I will say this, however, despite the inevitability of this bill, on this day, it was less inevitable than it would have been a couple of years ago.  More and more people are starting to open their eyes.  Because of the work of people like Ron Paul and others, people who once followed along are starting to see the problems with fiat money, and with paying interest to the Fed for money the Constitution gives us the right to print ourselves (money that we can then charge interest on).  People are beginning to realize that without gold or something of real value behind the dollar, the dollar is actually worth no more than the paper it is printed on.  People are starting to understand that our reckless spending is destroying us, that the cost of war is debilitating, and that the pork is too pricey in Washington and capitals around the country.  People are beginning to get the idea.

Furthermore, when people finally “get it” they get mad and mad people get busy.  Embarrassed by their previous apathy and ignorance, and motivated by their new found understanding, mad people step it up and get things done.  And if the passage of this bill has done anything for those of us with eyes to see, it has given us a goal and a pursuit for the next election and beyond.

Here is our next step:

>>Get the roll call for the vote<<.  Take names.  Get numbers.  Do not forget this traitorous activity.  Do not let them forget it.  Let them know from now until they are up for reelection that you are campaigning against them, regardless of their party.  For this is bigger than any one political issue.  This bailout and other actions like it strike at the foundations of our nation.  When the foundations are attacked, people from all walks must put aside their differences and defend those foundations, in order that we might still have a nation from within which we can debate “issues” when the morning comes.

Once you have the names and numbers, you must let these Senators and so-called “representatives” that you will be working against them, writing, blogging, and taking videos viral.  Do not rely on emails, but flood their phones and fax lines.  I have no doubt that our Senators, Congress, and the government in general, believes that the people will forget about this soon enough.  Most of the people will forget it when the next issue of US Weekly comes out, the next episode of Access Hollywood airs, or when they hear that tune from Monday Night Football.  You, however, will not forget and this is what you need to remind them.

Please, though, be reasonable and gentle.  Be mature and careful.  But be persistent and unrelenting.  Do not fall into the stereotypes they have set for you.  Do not give them anything to attack.  Do not give them a reason to disregard you.

Next, get the names and contact information of everyone who voted against this bill.  Make sure they know that you appreciate their stand, regardless of what district they are from.  In such matters, they are all our representatives and we need to support those who will likely be receving more hate mail from the sheeple and fewer invites from their colleagues.  We need to remind them regularly that they stood up for what was right, they made their public vote, and we applaud them for it.  I would suggest going so far as scheduling reoccurring thank you letters and notes of general encouragement for these people.  Bookmark their Web sites, keep an eye on their causes, and support them when you are able.  Let them know that their vote of principle has secured your vote for them.

Finally, for those of you so inclined, get down on your knees and pray.  The true agent of change is the Lord.  Ask the One who knows the beginning from the end to change the hearts and minds of those in leadership and thank the Lord that we can be part of that change.  Ask that we might be a lights in the darkness and witnesses who speak more by our actions than by our words alone.  Lastly, pray that God’s will would be done, even if it turns out to be something other than what we believe is best and pray that we would have the courage and strength to adjust our will according to His.

May God bless America.

Thank you.
