Still no appropriations bills passed or send to the President. Dull, Shock, Surprise. And where is Congress you ask? probably enjoying the nice three day week end. This will be the last time I rant on this particular subject for a while. Its not that I'm running out of steam its just there there are so many other things to chat about/bring to your attention that continuing on this one very narrow topic may bore the snot out of some people.
So as I sit here watching the Piggy play with her little mat gym I can't help but wonder what the future will bring. Not just for her generation but in the up coming years. This country's leaders continue to ask a great many things of its military personnel and they are most of the time all to happy to answer the call. But where are these same leaders when it comes time to keep their implied promise of supporting those brave men and women who answered their call? Either at home enjoying a nice cook out or holding those bills hostage to pork barrel spending, ear marks, and/or political agendas.
So this weekend I only ask two simple things, if you know a vet please take the time out to thank them it doesn't take long but it will/can make a big difference in their lives. and two take some time out and think about what your elected leaders in Washington D.C. and respective State Capitals are doing. Are they supporting those same brave men and women? Are they doing the job you helped elected them to do? Are they proposing/supporting legislation that you support and/or think is good for this country? If you answered no to any or all of these questions, please take some time and shoot them a message of some kind, e-mail, letter, phone call and let them know. After all they work for YOU not the other way around!
