Asleep At The Wheel...

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington

Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have…The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. Thomas Jefferson



Ok, the federal government has my attention. I blame no one but myself. Whether I was too busy, lazy or just plain stupid I have been asleep at the wheel. Letting others do the work of governing was easy. I stridently believed that The Constitution of the United States would be our stalwart protection against those who would dispossess us all and our posterity of the Blessings of Liberty that these United States have enjoyed.

But as with all things, unless maintained, defended and utilized it will cease to exist. The Constitution is no different. Well shame on me, shame on us all for taking these Blessings for granted without sacrifice and work.

Well, I am awake now and definitely unhappy with what has occurred in this country for the past one hundred years or so with but very few exceptions. So where do I start, what can I do? I am not really 100% sure right this minute, but what I am sure of is that enough is enough. The size, intrusion and power of our federal government is way out of line and it needs to be forced back to what is only necessary.

The question is… where to start? Action not just words is a first step.
