The Sound of Silence

                                                          

The time of silence has come to an end. People are waking up. We were dreaming that life was good, but it was only a dream. We have been programed to believe that we do not have a voice. We do. The world belongs to all of us and because it does, none of us have claim to it.

We are told to hate others because of their color, their religion, their sex, their origins and we listen. Who tells us to do this? It is the powerful that have everything to reap from our misery. They divide us and confuse us. We have belittled and dehumanized our indigenous peoples, and why is that? Is it because these people know how to protect and work with Mother Earth without raping her and draining her of the ability to give us sustenance? I think so.

                                                              

We have left the farms to work in cities and that was okay, but then mighty corporations and banks began to buy out the little farms, cementing over them to build mansions that would later be repossessed. Corporations have taken over the farming and, the food they serve to us only makes us ill. When we complain, they tell us to be silent. They threaten to hide the ingredients.

                                                           

We are told to be quiet when we see our young men and women sent out to fight a war for greedy old men. We are told to be quiet when our education is circling the drain. We are told to be quiet when our senior citizens who have worked their whole lives are placed in danger of losing the measly social security that they paid into for years. Why haven’t the people on Wall Street been jailed for their crimes? The powerful can only control the people who stay silent and accept the status quo.
                                                              

I will not be quiet. I will not hate another human. I will not follow blindly. We do have a voice and, we have a chance to tell the powerful Cabal that we will not be silent anymore.

                                   VOTE Like Your Life Depended On It

      Vote like your very life depends on it

This goes out to all the young people out there and the baby boomers who should know better. It is a right and a privilege to vote. We have fought many wars for this right. Get out and vote!!!

I don't care what party you vote for...just get the hell out there and vote...because you loose what you don't use.

If you feel that government has no authority to tell a woman that she can't use birth control, then my little zombie snacks vote Democratic.

If you feel that it's wrong for Big Corporations to commit treason by moving jobs overseas just to get out of paying their taxes...then vote Democratic.

If you feel that we should have stronger regulation over the crap they're putting in our foods and that our foods should be labeled with the amount of toxins, sugars and salt which is in the package...then vote.

                                                       

If you feel that it's wrong for government to interfere in same sex marriages...then vote Democratic.

If you feel that there is something wrong with a political party telling us to hate the poor and that the poor want to be poor...then vote Democratic.

Political parties, both Republican and Democratic...but mostly Republicans have been stealing from Social Security for years. Tax payers like me have paid into this system since our first day on the job. Punish the party that wants to take Social Security from the people who paid into it....and from me...my little munchkins. I've been working since I was seven years old and unlike big corporations, I've never cheated on my taxes. I paid into the system. Don't cheat the little guy go after the bums who won't pay their fare share.

Congress has disgraced us in front of the world by being a do nothing entity and all because they want to disgrace Obama to the world....but you know...they make us all look like fools. Kick every one of the bums out and install the people who will show up every day to work and speaking of Congress...here is Granny's new rules

1. Congress only gets the same health care as the poorest person in the country...they want better...they pay for it. What's good for the goose is good for the lazy ganders.

2. Congress only gets paid for days worked...And, they only get two weeks vacation. They wanted to be in politics and that is all they get.

3. WE stop the big retirement packages for people in Congress. Until all the tax payers have a decent living wage and a decent retirement package, Congress gets nothing!!!!

                                                        

4. Put more money into education... and more money into taking care of our veterans who risk their lives to fight a war to make certain people rich. How dare we make education so hard to achieve? If we tax these fat cat corporations, we'll have enough money for every child to go to college...got it?

                                                             

It doesn't matter what political party you belong to, it just seems that an honest man or woman have a hard time keeping their morals when lobbyists are able to bribe them with big gifts. Until the tax payers have a lobbyist, all special interest and big money corporations should be banned from Washington D.C.
