Celebrate nothing, yet!

By Randy Walters

To celebrate Scott Brown’s win in Massachusetts would be stupid. All his victory amounts to is a stay of execution for working Americans. Had he not been elected under the promise of holding up Obamacare we would all be in trouble. To celebrate the win and think everything is ok, and that the Republicans are going to save this country is ludicrous. The Republicans and the Democrats are so much alike in Washington you have to have a program to tell the difference.

Americans have been fooled by the labels. If you think one party could have caused all the mess we are in at this time, you are giving either of them too much credit. It took both of them to reach the extremes we are now facing with the deficit and the job crisis. America bleeds jobs, and the party that is supposed to be “For the people” does nothing to slow the bleeding. This is not to say the Republicans are any better as it was a Republican (Bush 41) who first proposed the deal.

Our nation needs officials of character. We have long since dealt with the other type and we are paying for it everyday. We have no respect in the world view because of the people we freely elect. Were we being herded to the polls with guns pointed at our heads it would be understandable that we voted for such criminals, but we weren’t. The solution to the problems we face today can be found in the words of the founding fathers of our nation. No, not Jefferson, Washington, Adams, or any of their counterparts, but the real founding fathers, Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, and their counterparts. After all, that’s where the crafters of our Constitution got their inspiration.

It will take much more than a political change in order to make a difference in America. It will take a complete change in the character of the men and women we send to represent our nation and guard over its safety and prosperity. Scott Brown was only a signal that change is needed. It’s now time to set forth a path that will assure the change we need.

On Saturday, February 20th in Frankfort it will be our duty to show the legislature of Kentucky and the rest of the nation that Kentuckians know what is best for Kentucky, not politicians. It is also be our time to tell the nation that the environmentalists do not control Kentucky, nor does the EPA. We will mine our coal and our people will work to support our families.

The rally to Restore America is not the solution, but it is a good place to start. It gets underway at noon with much on the agenda, much that can be solved through simple and basic actions. We can restore America, but we have to do it together. Please be there to help us get started.
