With due respect, I don't think you are getting it.
The Nation is dying due to the encroaching socialism that Clinton, Bush started and Obami is accelerating. The time is long gone for petitions to the Obami,Reid,Pelosi triad. THEY DON'T CARE! They are in power, as one of them said. They are hellbent on installing their COLLECTIVISM!.
Our last opportunities are through the courts against un-Constitutional legislation; States' rights support; massive grassroots efforts for Term Limits (most importantly); reduced Congressional sessions; sunset all non-essential legislation; and especially promoting and educating the populace about the importance of our history and it's Constitutional beginnings, and how it has made a better World.
Sorry to yell, but the politicians are not listening. The TEA Party grassroots movement should take this opportunity to focus on at least one of the above.
