It isn't the Union that is the bully!  IT'S THE REPUBLICAN PARTY trying to hide the fact that the elected officials in office failed this State and have left the regular worker to bail them out all the while pointing blame on anyone they can to avoid responsibility for the mess we are in.

Don't be fooled by this political parties attempt to shift the focus off them and onto the average worker, for which the Republican party is now after to foot the bill for their mistakes. 

The SEIU has already taken a 10% pay cut and have given two additional days a month to furlough days in which the regular worker does not get paid.  The SEIU wants to get rid of the outside contractors, like the ones that have family ties to our current republican leaders who are charging the State more than twice the money for work the regular state SEIU employees can do. Can you say, Special interest?

How fast these politicians have turned their stories around to blame everyone else for their problems.  Instead of solving the problem with the more than 11 billion dollars that has left our State for Mexico. It seems that are elected officials feel that illegial workers deserve more free services than the citizens that have given their entire life to this State, paying taxes, paying fees and serving our Country in the Armed Forces with many giving there lives for our freedoms now taken away by our elected officials.

This is going to get ugly and it is the same Political horse raddish we have grown up to expect from our so called elected officials.  This bad UNION that the Republicans are talking about are regular state workers who have given the politicions a full 10 percent of their income and two furlough days already, to help the State out of their mess.  Don't forget that it is the Republican and Democrats that have taken us to where we are, right this minute. 

Once again our elected surragets try to limit their responsibilies in question.  It's alright to tell only part of the story about these bad unions but they forgot to tell you what has already been taken away from all State workers.  The Union is trying to keep the jobs your neighbors and friends have. Has the regular public lost 10% of their income? Has the regular public lost two of 20 days to make enough to pay their bills?  The answer to both of these is no, they have NOT.

You should consider that, it is with this type of Political injustice and story telling that got all of us all in this mess in the first place.  It isn't the Republicans, it isn't the Democrates, it's both of them!  They have done this to us.

Did you do this to us?  Did you make the decesions that selected outside contractors and pay them double for their service?  Did you have to payback all the Special Interests you owe by pork barrell manuvers? Probably not, but that elected official has to.  That is why they hide these expenses from us and then we find out some Rat got 20 Million dollars while you or your friends lost their homes, filed bankruptcy, or worse. 

Our elected officials are in there right now trying to cover their tracks and they are laying down new lies in order to protect themselves.  Just like this new attack on a Union that has already made major concessions when it comes to pay and benefits.  And yet, the Republicans would have you believe that the Unions are the attacker.  That just isn't true.

Think about this, if you will.  The very elected officials who got us into this mess, with their decisions that they made and failed at, are the same elected officials in charge of getting us out of this mess? They got us in and they are now looking to bury anyone and everyone they can to avoid the possibility of looking guilty.  Now that is drama ladies and gentlemen.

How about this?  You ask your elected official for a graph showing how much each of us actually pays in taxes and fees per dollar we make right now.  I have tried to get one for years now from Feinstein and Boxer and the others that have refused to do just that.  I have to ask why?  I think the answer is simple, they are afraid to show it because it's astronomical and the public would go nuts when they say it. 

Why do you think everything is being done by both parties to put a label on the tea party events coming out everywhere in the Nation?  By label I mean, those labels like racists, idiots, haters, crackpots, jokers, etc.  Oh, come on, you have heard them in the media.  Keep in mind, these are just regular citizens like you and your friends that have had it.  These are not what our political leaders call them, these are regular people who have seen the massive failure of our current elected officials to do anything to lower taxes, raise income, control electrical costs, fuel costs, etc.

In fact, take a moment and grab a piece of paper and right down the major changes in anything we face today in the way of price gouging and greed and fees and taxes that our officials have changed for the better.  Let's give that some time to sink in. (10 minute writers brake)

Ok, you back?  How big is that list you have?  I can't think of just one major rate cut, wage gain, retirement benefit, medical breakthrough, nothing.  What did you get?  If you have one, congratulations.  Please take the time to write me and let me know what I missed.

Did you try fuel prices?  Medical costs?  Energy price reductions in rates?  In fact, if you just looked at your electrical bill, you have probably seen that the PUC or Public Utilities Commision just allowed a huge price increase which took my average $120 bill and lofted it to $320 without changing a thing I did except turn my temperature up past 80 degrees.  Everytime our officials ask us to conserve we respond only to watch the PUC increase the bill again and again and again.  This time we are all in grave shape, thanks to our elected officials, and they choose to help the business instead of the citizens that they represent.  Are getting as tired as I am about that?  I thought so.

Oh yeah, if they vote to raise the price we pay they get more tax money.  Now do you have a clue as to why they did this?  It's always about them and not us.  They give us little things but over all they have done nothing to deserve to be re-elected.

Now, don't get me wrong.  I don't think all our elected officials are bad.  Some, and I said some have stuck their neck out to counter the injustice of most of the others.  To them, I salute you.  For having the guts and common sence to realize the injustice these other elected officials are guilty of.  We know who you are and your citizens know who you are. You are a true Californian and a True American and you will get my vote.

But, for the others, who have sold there soul for personal advancment on the backs of the very people who voted for them, your time is coming.  Justice may be blind but it will indeed find you sooner or later.

Here is a Clue, my friends:  Watch for people who have answers to your questions, not questions as your answer.  When you ask them for a listing of how much you are paying in taxes per dollar made, they can provide it.  When you ask them a question they don't use a yes and a no in the answer sentence.  When you see them complaining without a suggestion for a cure, their grandstanding.  When they complain very loudly they are trying to misdirect you away from their guilt and they are trying to blame the kitchen sink for the problem.  When you see and hear a politician admit guilt, right down the date to remember because it will be a first.

I have many areas of concern and I am considering a run for office under the independent ticket since the tea party isn't a party yet.  I have but one goal and that is to run without funds, getting my message out by using the internet.  I do not believe it should be a run for money, instead I believe it should be a run based on common sense and humility.  I want to find out why things have broken down and why and what we can do from here to make things better.
