Ok, here I am. I am doing this in response to many of my friends saying I needed to blog. I have now both a personal blog and now this, my political and social commentary blog.
To let you know a bit about me. I am a 30-something mother of a son. I always wanted 6 kids, but God has plans otherwise, so I am mothering many many other children in life through church, soccer and neighboring. My husband is an attorney that deals with helping abused, neglected and abandoned children. With his job, he has seen how the policy of the welfare state has damaged generations of families. The new mentality that no longer counts personal responsibility has ruined our society...here and all over the 'developed' world.
I am a conservative, both social and governmental. However, over years of learning the constitution and realizing that you can not legislate morality have come to the conclusion that most issues should fall to the states in regards to things like abortion, gay marriage, public religious displays etc. This will create a balance in the country where those who want to live a certain way, live in a certain state. We are a union of states. Very different people chose to live in separate places in the beginning of our countries existence. This was not only due to the resources of each location, but due to the pre-civil war existence of State's Rights. Today, we have lost sight of the fact that our Federal government should be smaller and less involved in our daily lives than our State government.
So here we are.
Today I have this question. Based on watching some of the streaming of events in the Capital today. Where was my Representative?
Can someone tell me where was Ander Crenshaw during the address of the rally? Why did he not use his (as he says) considerable influence of position (on the appropriations committee) to make a statement and show the nation, his constituints, and his fellow Republicans that he was going to hold them accountable?
That is what I want to know for today. Anything else you want me to talk about...or weigh in on, let me know.
