Many of us have all seen the 1998 movie 'enemy of the state' where the government is chasing the "little guy", but really, what or who is an enemy of the state today?
As I see it right now we have two types of enemy of the state, foreign and domestic, our foreign enemies are pretty well documented, however, who is our biggest domestic enemy? It would appear to be certain members of our own government that have lost all contact with the people it is supposed to represent.
I have tried to avoid any further references to the oil prices, however, the "subcommittee" that voted against drilling off the US coastline should in my opinion be treated as enemies of the state. The question of "what were they thinking?" doesn't even begin to sum up my feelings and probably like many others, but yet the apathy of the people is quite astounding, we as the people should be bombarding these enemies of the state(namely the members of that subcommittee) with emails, faxes and even phone calls to find out why they are deliberately squashing the US economy OR pressing them to get this bill back into vote on an emergency basis and vote it past.
At the risk of plagiarism I feel its high time to vote out ALL the incumbents without exception so we can have fresh views in all the offices that are supposed to be representing the people and maybe regain some of that lost contact between the people and the OUR elected officials.
Without sounding defeatist or pessimistic the above is little more than a pipe dream, but yet with considerable help and buy in from many members of the public it could be a possible reality...... I can live in hope.
