voting and politics

This is a subject I try to keep to myself but Messianictrucker got me worked up. So here it comes. Time to unload. It's time for all truckers and alot of other Americans to get off there lazy asses and start voting and paying attention to what is going on in this country. Everybody has no problem whining and crying about what's happening but refuse to try doing anything about it. I'm sorry but lots of praying and nothing else won't get anything done.Call capital hill and be heard. Write letters to the crooks that are suppose to represent us. Vote the clowns out of office and let the rest know their days are numbered as well. Drive them people crazy with lots of letters and phone calls. Don't expect the next guy to do it for you.Things are going down hill fast in the USA and it's sliding right into other countries that pays next to nothing for labor and don't have all the unions and special interest groups bothering them. Why pay $25/hr to someone here when they can pay someone $.25/day to do the same job and not have them whine about working conditions? To many of us have gotten to the point of not caring. As long as you get your paycheck and pay your bills your happy with the staus que. It's too late to do something when your job suddenly moves to a foreign country. Don't expect things to improve as long as you don't do your part.
My wife and I are truckdrivers and never miss an election, we call and write our crooks on capital hill and are members of OOIDA even though we are company drivers with no intention of becoming O/O's. OOIDA keeps us informed as to what is going on regarding things that will effect the truckers and what we need to do to either support or defeat things in Washington.
