I’m tried of hearing my friends and other people say that we should show the Republican leaders we are not happy with their leadership by letting the Democrats win the next couple of elections. Who does it hurt more, the leaders of the Republican Party or the people of the United States of America?

Let’s brake it down. Start with what your believes. Do you think the country would be better off with higher taxes? What do you think of homosexual marriage or unions and uncontested abortions? What is your thought on human embryonic stem cell research? Do you believe that all guns should be taken off the streets and letting law-abiding citizens be at the mercy of criminals? Are those your believes? These issues are held high in the Democrat party. What about letting the rest of the world tell America what to do. How about putting our brave soldiers at the mercies of a world court. Under most Democrats that’s what would happen. America is ours and ours alone; we don’t let any other government run our lives but our own.

Do you believe in smaller government, one who takes responsibility in its spending and lowering taxes? Do you believe in a party that keeps the foundation of America rooted in the family? Then you stand with the Republican Party. This is the same party that helps the victims and does not excuse the criminals.

I know you are saying "What about the immigration bill?" and some of the other bills the leaders of the Republican Party have tried to pass or passed? You know the old saying, "Don’t though the baby out with the bath water", that is what we don’t need to do right now. There are some people in the party that need to be replaced, not the party itself. The message is good and the vision is right.

Lets change the government and the leaders in the Republican Party in the primaries and not just turn over the government and what we believe in, to the other Party. There are good down to earth conservatives just looking for a way to help and change the Party. It is time for these people to stand up and take the lead. They need to run for office and stick to their beliefs. We need to back these new leaders with our votes in the primaries. This is the true way to let our voices be heard without giving up power. If we don’t vote and change the party and we let the Democrats take full charge of the government, then we are the ones that are wrong and weak. When we stand together, we can make the difference that we are looking for.

If you think I’m stupid or blowing smoke, look to Ohio to see what the Democrat leaders are doing. They have now twice-raised taxes on gas since the beginning of the year. Once in rollbacks on the holding taxes and once straight out to the consumer. Yes, I know, that all the legislator but one vote for the second tax gas hike. We in Ohio will pay about 7 cents more in each gallon of gas. Can you say, "President Cater and the 70’s government problems again?" Higher gas prices, longer gas lines, higher unemployment and double-digit inflation. In one word, recession.
