Change is on its way

I was infuriated when the news came after the election that the National Republican Senatorial Committee would not be supporting Christine O’Donnell because she couldn’t win.

Doesn’t the GOP establishment get it? We are tired of the good ol’ boys letting the lobbyists stuff their pockets with lots of goodies and then figure they don’t have to pay taxes on it, e.g., Charlie Rangel. They are making laws that exclude them from having to comply with the same law we have to, e.g., retirement fund of their own, retiring at their same pay scale. My Social Security is $740 a month, not my working salary but much less. And they don’t have to take the same health care that the rest of us do.

They are trying to spend us out of debt. Yes, tax increases are coming.

Our nation is in a free fall. Who is trying to stop it? The tea party candidates.

We are cleaning house. If the NRSC doesn’t support change, we will at election time. Are you with us, GOP?
