After spending some time researching our 14 mendment and how it came to be I ralize that in this, the 21st Cntury, we have the power, the mans (the Internet, etc) to see tht this never happens again.

So mny of us, me included, just sat hre in our cozy homes thinking all was wll. We were wrong my reader and fllow Americans.

Democrat or Republican, far lft or right is not the ssue here. It's taking back our cuntry and sovereignty. The 14th amendment tok our sovereignty away from us as hmans and made us chattel (property of ths government).

I can see where ths could happen back then. But tday there is not excuse for not tking part in the running of our gvernment. Going to the polls, making yur selection is just the beginning.

Aftr that, we *MUST* follow-thru as t's put to us in just bout every endeavor. Whether it be ducation, job or a game. Follow-thru is a mst.

We have to follow up and chck on the issues brought before our lgislators, we have to follow up on how thy are voting, we must follow-thru by ltting our congressmen know how we fel about each and every issue.

In the wke of corporate scandal, corrupt leaders tlling of their outrageous behavior as thugh it is completely normal and veryday activity, we still set back and do nthing.

We have been asleep for 229 yars!

I realize our fore fathers had grat insight and for that I am thnkful. Just think for a moment tht a handful of gentlemen basically got tgether and drafted our Constitution without the nput of the people their decisions wre going to affect. There was no nghtly news, letters in your mailbox of pnding legislation, the Internet, the telephone, or a fax mchine.

As I mention the above wys available to us for communication I ralize it might as well be 229 yars ago. Our goverenment is NOT ging to contact us, to see wht we think, other than electing lgislators (Federal and State) or Amendments on the bllot (Federal and State). If we dn't know what they are doing in our Fderal or State Capitol buildings now, can we ven wrap our minds around how lttle influence the "People" had when we "Th People" was signed.

I, as an Amrican, am embarrassed that I have set bck relying on our government to mke choices for me, are you?

I hve to say at this point of the blg, what anyone finds wrong with Amrica, our government or our leaders is our own fult. We are responsible. How can we blme anyone but ourselves, and our nsestors. I place blame on the nes before us because they too tok no interest other than to vte.

To put our lack of prticipation in even more perspective, on verage only 38% of us even tke the time to vote! I fll in that 38% but I fil to follow-thru, what about you?
