We the People are coming

The following letter read on Glenn Beck's show, is rapidly circulating
around the country. Americans everywhere identify with this 53-year-old
woman. She has given us a voice. Once you read this, you will want to
forward it to all of your friends...




GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona . She writes an open
letter to our nation's leadership:


"I am a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my
life.
Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican
because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or
works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the
Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important
to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or
representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the
issues important to me.
Instead, we are burdened with Congressional Dukes and Duchesses who
think they know better than the citizens they are supposed to represent.

There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and
tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our
Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now.
You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would feel so
horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of
nut-job am I? Well, these briefly are the views and issues for which I
seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants
and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence
and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been
there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This is not to
be confused with legal immigration.


Two, the STIMULUS bill. I want it repealed and I want no further funding
supplied to it. We told you No, but you did it anyway. I want the
remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.


Three: Czars. I want the circumvention of our constitutional checks and
balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government
officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on
our Constitution, and honor it.


Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There are
many conflicting opinions and it is too soon for this radical
legislation.
Quit throwing our nation into politically-correct quicksand.


Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive
decision that will burden me, my children, and grandchildren. Don't you
dare try to pass this in the middle of the night without even reading
it.
Slow down!  Fix only what is broken -- we have the best health care
system in the world -- and test any new program in one or two states
first.


Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty
fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. More is not
better! Shrink it down. Mind your own business.  You have enough to take
care of with your real [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't you start
there.


Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our
2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory
escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal
that closes -- how did they pull that one off?  Stop the funding to
ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I
do not trust them with taking the census with our taxpayer money. I
don't trust them with any of our taxpayer money. Face up to the
allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any
more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck,
hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the
people. Investigate.


Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is
mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have
because they gave me jobs -- and that is the only redistribution of
wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person! Why do
you want me to hate my employers? And what do you have against
shareholders making a profit?


Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor
person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local
communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent
and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.


Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Every company must sink or swim
like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off
just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful.
(Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid?) We will pull together. Great
things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to
innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.


Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how
about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have
some straight honest talk. Please stop trying to manipulate and appease
me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for.
Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your
friends.
It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding
things from me.


Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Slow down and get some input from
nonpoliticians and experts on the subject. Stop making everything an
emergency. Stop speed-reading our bills into law. I am not an activist.
I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a
violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy.  I am
busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care
of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families,
pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure
our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on
the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and
teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the
free and land of the brave.


I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the
checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened?
You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the
hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill
that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not.
It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a
slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I
feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own
life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust
you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We
did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could.
I am sure that we still cannot. There is needless urgency and
recklessness in all of your recent spending of our tax dollars.


From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also
know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel
that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it
to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by
us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put
our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We
will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children,
any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend
on bringing our concerns to Washington . Our president often knows all
the right buzzwords like unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens
of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that
word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're
morons.


We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we
want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done.
You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we
are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented.. You think
we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the
formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey
the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone... and we
are now looking at you.
You have awakened us, the patriotic freedom spirit so strong and so
powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far.
Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who
will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike
you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured.
They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office.
We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We
will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will
flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off.
We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or
you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among
us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our
constitution.


Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We
don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us Patriotic Americans
are willing to do right by us and our Constitution, and that is all that
matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and
seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We
entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are
dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to
us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency
loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you
will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political
parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them.. Because we will get
you fired and they will not save you.

If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up.
Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak
up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be
herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn
congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you?
Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are
coming. We the people are coming.
