It's up to voters to do a housecleaning

What a disappointment in the American walk about.

We have the million man march, the illegal immigration march, and the Meeks and his merry 50 reverends aka civil rights leaders march.

Where were the people when Congress was considering the astronomical bailout price tag?

I guess this wasn't a worthy walking cause.

Real change and cleaning will only come from us the voters.

All politicians have term limits according to the Constitution. It is us who do not use the tool.

We keep voting for the same politician who ends up being the very CEO who we despise in business.

Then we vote their family members into office instead of telling ourselves this is not a family owned business.

So the next time we look in the mirror and tell ourselves "I hate Big Business," we're actually just whining.

The Iraq war has been the most hateful event in the Bush administration. Yet President Bush has not called for a draft.

I thank you Americans who willingly enlisted and fought for freedom. The fact is there won't be enough volunteers to fight in Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur and possibly Iran.

So young people, when your college education is put on hold because we voters want change, you can thank us. We're changing for you.
