A note from the road

I'm brand new at this, but wanted to share some basic  thoughts on things that are happening in our Country. As I drive over-the-road picking up and delivering freight, I appreciate what a wonderful Country we live in! The natural beauty of our great land is matched only by the greatness of the people that I meet.  I believe in America and real patriotic Americans!  With the current administration in the White House and Leadership in Congress (or lack thereof) I am growing more and more concerned about where our Country is headed.  Our Liberty is being stolen from us, not in a subtle way, but in an increasingly disturbing grab for power by those in power in Washington.  This does not have to be so! We've seen a huge uprising in our midst of people from all walks of life, declaring that "We The People" have the power! We've seen people begin to wake up and use their voices through letters, emails, phone calls, social networking and personal presence at town hall and "tea party" gatherings. (I'm one who never thought I'd be "blogging" ...if that's what I'm doing!) As I cut this first post short, I'm going to borrow a phrase from our President's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel: "Never let a crisis go to waste." Well, our beloved Country and what it was founded on is facing a crisis and we shall not let it go to waste...we are mobilizing to stand up and say: "We the People" are keeping our Country the way it should be kept!  Thanks for reading! I look forward to sharing more in the days to come.  You all are my inspiration :-)
