Election Results

I find it sort of sad when we get less than a 40% turn out for this last election cycle. We send our young men and women all over the world to die so others can exercise the right to vote and determine their governing officials. We tout how wonderful it is to be a Republic and support democratic elections yet we fail to follow our words with actions. I understand the frustration with our elected officials but to not even take the time to vote is mind boggling to me. Have we become so numb to the fact that there are people and organizations that are running this country and they count on the majority of Americans to sit on their hands and whine and complain but when it comes to doing something about it we act like the three monkeys! The biggest winners on Tuesday was not the GOP but Wall Street. More people were elected to office that openly support removing banking regulations, lifting sanctions for overseas corporations and putting more restrictions on the workers rights than anytime since the late 1890's. Dodd/Frank is already a target as is the NLRB and a bill to reduce the taxes on overseas profits and it is only Thursday.
