Here I go !

This is a brand new avenue for me, so please be gentle with your comments ! I think my friends and family probably think I've suddenly gone off the deep end, because this year it seems like all I do is bemoan the state of our country. Well, I'm going to stay on my soapbox, and subject even more people to my opinions by becoming a blogger !LOL.

To say that I was upset when our new President took office is a gross understatement. It seems like everything he stands for goes against my grain and the welfare of all the good hard-working people in America. When his campaign harped on "change" and "hope" little did I know that all I can do now is "hope" that I have a little pocketful of "change" at the end of the month. I'm blessed with a wonderful family and a job that I love. However, I'd like to be able to retire one of these days without having to rely on my "government" to support me. But the way that the President is redistributing my wealth it could happen. And don't get me started on the way the legislators in California are wreaking havoc on the state I've called home my entire life!

That being said, here I am. I started educating myself on how the government really works, and learned that "we the people" has really gotten lost, and that most legislators number one priority is just getting elected again! While searching the internet for a way to get involved and possibly turn this country around, I joined a couple of the tea party type groups. Then I came across "icaucus.org."
The Independence Caucus A National Citizens Organization
Focused on Integrity over Big Money
. Their mission statement: "To find/elect fiscally sound candidates; help organize locally; educate people on current affairs; research money trails to every rep we can."

iCaucus gives people the opportunity to join their "virtual campaign team." Well, I did, so here I am. I am blogging for a better America. I will post articles and links here to educate and inform voters (and voters-to-be) on candidates that have been vetted by iCaucus. Any candidate who wishes to obtain the endorsement of iCaucus (a VERY big deal) must go through the iCaucus vetting process, which includes an 80-question questionairre, and then a lengthy interview, and then a vote by iCaucus membership.

If you're reading this blog, then I bet you want a better America too. So go to
http://www.icaucus.org/ to find out what you can do. Remember, God helps those who help themselves!

Also, Californians, if you're not sure if you're registered to vote, or if you want to register to vote click on this link:
http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_vr.htm . Most states have the same services online, so if you're from out of state, just google or bing it!

  2. You go, girl! It's about time for some Political action. We are fighting a system that recycles campaign contributions and keeps good candidates from getting past any primary. I only have 71 days to prove the system wrong! Thanks for the support. Keep on bloggin....
