Have you ever been told you “can’t fight City Hall”? Alone I felt helpless, what could I do? Write to the local paper, call my representatives in Congress (they ignore those calls). Alone I could not “fight City Hall, then came the grassroots movement. I use the term grassroots because the term “Tea Party” explains why we did what we did, not who we are. I now realize that I am not one person I am part of “We the People” collective and together we have the power. However, we cannot rest on what we did in the past; we must listen to the Congress carefully, if we do not like what we hear we fight in the best tradition of this country with peaceful demonstrations and town hall meetings. Maybe pass a law forcing our representatives to meet with us at least a dozen times a year.
This brings me to Ron Kind and why I didn’t vote for him. At the town hall meeting in Tomah I saw hundreds of people plead and beg him not to sign Obamacare into law, I saw the helpless anger in those people as he told us to go to hell and voted for it anyway. Then ignorant people voted him back in office. Now we must watch and record his every vote, having his votes ready for the next election. We must educate those who voted for him about what he really stands for.
