One Angry Voter

I'm pissed.  Yeah that's right, I said it.  Brandon and I wrote to our congressman who voted "yes" for the $700 billion Bailout, just to let him know we think he's a weenie.  Well, perhaps not in those exact words, but you get the point.  So, I am encouraging everyone I know (and so should you!) to look up their congressmen/women that voted yes and write them angry letters too.  Over 60% of Americans were against the bill, and despite that Congress still passed it.  And the market still isn't improving, and people are still foreclosing, and you know what?  Maybe that's what needs to happen so this country can humble itself a little and learn that having everything you want requires hard work.  We are among generations of people who believe that they are entitled to whatever they want because they've been spoiled their whole lives.  It doesn't work that way, and the idea that Big Brother can come in and magically clean up everyone's slop with my money really gets me going.   Anyhow, here is a website so you can check to see how your congressman/woman voted.  Let those who represent us in Congress know that we will not stand for such ridiculous misrepresentation!

Trees outside Madigan

 This is why I love going on Post!  There are so many beautiful trees changing color, and breathing in the sweet smell of those leaves makes me realize how much I love this gorgeous place.  It breaks my heart that I can't tangibly share this; I would do anything to show my family around all the beautiful sights Washington has to offer.  Oh well...someday I hope.
