Not in WI. The state legislature is in the repub majority right now and we have a republican governor. This is true in 23 other states. And the repubs control 68 out of 98 state legislatures.

The repubs have never had this type of control before and it makes sense to strike while the iron is hot. If not now when?

Most legislators are living in the same communities they represent. They are more answerable to the people. You have more control over local elections than you do federal. I have found that at least here in WI they tend to be more conservative than Congress.

Waiting to elect more conservative candidates is a fool’s game. It seems Washington has corrupted many of those we have sent. It would take too much time that we don’t have to replace enough of them who remained true to their word to take control over a congress that is determined to shut them out of the process.

Ultimately the responsibility for governing lies with us, the people. We didn’t get this republic by whining about how hard and impossible it was going to be. The founders had all the odds against them and it was quite an undertaking to get this republic in the first place.

I think what we see today is just a lack of will and laziness. Well I have news for people like that. No one in DC is going to hand your Constitution and your Republic back to you. You are going to have to take it back one way or another. Those running the country right now have no reason to change. They have nice cushy jobs, the press on their side and bennies that the rest of us can only dream of. We have to change because they will not.

Corruption will always be with us. Man will always be sinful. One of our founders said that if men were all angels there would be no need for government. No one is coming to save us. We are going to have to save ourselves however I see a definite lack of will. The problem isn’t evil, it’s apathy.
