Plug it!!

We have a major oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico resulting in economic damage to all the states surrounding the Gulf. Our federal government has interfered with efforts to stop the leak and curtail the resulting damage. Their sole effort seems, so far, to have been to make the leak into a political experience for their own gain. I say, “Plug the hole!”

Washington is gushing red ink like a broken oil well. I say, “Plug the hole!”

Aliens are streaming across our borders and inflicting our nation with drugs, crime, violence, debt and driving our unemployment rate up. All the while, the aliens are stealing from us by sending our wealth back to their native countries. Our federal government is taking steps to block any attempts to slow that stream. I say, “Plug the hole!”

The “unalienable rights” of American citizens are seeping away. Our government now has far too many ways to take away our property, our liberty and even our pursuit of happiness. I say, “Plug the hole!”

Our public education system has become far too weak. It is, I have heard and seen, not uncommon for home-schooled and private-schooled first-graders to read at levels higher than public school third-graders. This is a serious “brain drain”. I say, “Plug the hole!”

Drug companies and lawyers were slowly bleeding our citizens into bankruptcy. Our federal government, instead of stemming the bleeding, has taken steps to increase speed of the bleed by saddling us with a public healthcare system and using the might of law and the IRS to force the citizens to contribute to their coffers while simultaneously lowering our level of healthcare. I say, "Plug the hole!"

Each of the above issues constitute a grave threat to our nation. Taken collectively, they represent treason by our own government. Elected and appointed officials have siphoned off the wealth, safety and security of our nation and its citizens for their own personal gain. I say, “Plug the whole!”
