I want to try an experiment. It has became painfully obvious to me and I'm sure to you as well, that our leaders, on both sides of the aisle are interested only in holding on to their ties with Corporate sponsors. Several polls have shown that 67% of us out in the real America want drastic reform of health care, yet the backroom boys are stalling and watering down all attempts to really help the American people. This is just one example of we citizens being taken for a ride.
What I want to do is start a blog where we can come whether we are conservative, liberal, or moderate and engage in civil discourse. No shouting, name calling, or disruptions.
I would like to take one or two topics at a time and discuss them. I have my views and you have yours. We need not agree with each other but we should try to understand the others views. We may just hammer out a consensus.
Why should we bother? Well, if our Congressmen and Senators will not act in our interest maybe we can, together, figure out a way to influence them. Voting Blocs are good.
Now, if I send this out to 20 people and each sent to twenty, then it shouldn't take long to build a sizable group.
I am not asking you to participate unless you are interested in doing so, but I would like you to pass this around you address book.
This will either be fun or futile, but I hope for the best.
Billy
