I know the health care bill was passed Sunday night, but I didn't know until Monday, and I've been trying to decide what to do and what to say. But before I go into the blog post I would like to recognize those members of the House who voted against health care reform.

What do we do???? It's simple. We fight. And no not literally fight. Like Gandhi said, "Use truth as your anvil, nonviolence as your hammer and anything that does not stand the test when it is brought to the anvil of truth and hammered with nonviolence, reject it." But we fight, we vote, we tell our friends, we do everything in our power to fight what is happening. I refuse to it aside and watch my country e destroyed, I want my children to grow up in the same country that I did.
Email and call your people in Congress, email the president. Let them know your not happy, tell them how they vote determines if you vote for them or not. No one wants to be unemployed, even them, but some of them will if they keep what they are doing up. Our government is a government by the people for the people, remember they work for us, and just like any employer, if we don't like what they do, we "fire" them. But we have to tell them what to do, we can't blame them for how they vote if we don't tell them what we want.
Find a Tea Pary locally, go to http://www.teapartypatriots.org/ and you can enter your zip code and find local events. This Thursday I will be attending a local Tea Party event in my city. Find conservative talk radio. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, just remember t onot just take what they say to be the way it is, look it up find your own sources, be informed. If your in the Greensboro area, go to http://www.rush945.com/main.html for conservative talk radio, with Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck and other people too. Find people that think like you do and get and stay connected, it's one thing the other side and the media is good at doing, making you feel like your all alone, a minority, DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!! Your not alone, we are the majority but if they can make you feel that way, well if your just a few, all alone, what's the point in trying to fight, what's the point in doing anything???? And if they can get us to feel that way, they have won.
Another thing to do is to talk to people, this isn't always easy, I don't know how to talk to other people about this stuff very well either but you have to try, start with your friends and family, they should be easier than random people because they like/love you and are going to listen. Post stuff on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, whatever you have, that's a easy way to spread the word.
Check out the 9/12 Project, this was started by Glenn Beck, it's the nine principles and twelve values that founded this country and can get this country back on track. http://www.the912project.com/
This probally won't be easy. So what???? Something worth getting if rarely ever easy, if it's easy, anybody can get it. Just know it won't be easy, know that now. But at the end of the day, it really comes down to this, in 20. 30 years, when you look back on this part of your life, and our country, will you remember you fighting to save and restore your country? Or will you remember you backing out because it was hard? In 20 or 30 years, I know what I will remember, and I hope that I can't stop what's going on so in 20 or 30 years, our country had radically changed.
The last and most important thing to do is probally the simplest. PRAY.
