HERE HERE...We need an Orator, such as yourself, in the ranks of the URT (United Republic of Texas). I haven't seen anyone cut to the chase so quickly and with such eloquence in a very long time. Bravisimo.
First, let me say, i noticed that all responses to this article seemed to focus on the games, whereas the real focus should be...THE FRIVOLOUS(sp?)WASTE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY.
Now, for the idea. The next time anyone notices an article about some politico trying to pass some law that you deam a waste of taxpayers money, take the time to jot down the proposed legislative action number and the lawmakers name and state....then do a little background and find the names of that persons constituents that support said legislation.....and write letters and emails and phone calls, and encourage all your friends and acquaintances to do the same, and let them know of your disapproval and the fact that, in the same way they were elected in, they can be elected out....then take it to the polls on election day.
It wont be long before the legislators get the message that they work for, and are paid by, Us.
i find it very ignorant on the part of a lot of people to say that living in the boonies vs the city has anything to do with drawbacks or advantages. i , for one, live in the boonies....but i do have cable and broadband....i also have a satellite, although its in boxes for the time being..satellite can and will allow broadband access. I live in a small, class C motorhome....thus i can take my sat and access with me wherever i go...there are alternatives for every existence in life....
have u not heard the president say he wanted internet access for every household?.....just remember, access to info flows both ways..if u live in the country, u live there to get AWAY from the grind of city life and all of the acoutrements therein
