Dude, Where's My Constitution? Are You Sick of Big Government?

Fox News pundit Glenn Beck read a letter on the air today from a woman who says she's been a lifelong Democrat and is frustrated with the headlong rush to socialism that the current administration is taking us.

Here's part of what she wrote: "The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written."

As I listened to the text of the letter, I had to agree with her. Here are a few of the things that she's angry and frustrated about and what she wants done about them:

"One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders..."

"Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. "

"Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. "

"Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say. "

"Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more."

"Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated."

"Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. "

"Nine, charitable contributions ... Charity belongs in our local communities ... Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves."

"Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us."

"Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? "

"Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now. "

"Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave."

I managed to sign it just before the website overloaded from the number of people trying to access it. That speaks volumes about how ordinary people feel about our country and how we are being screwed over by politicians from both parties.
