MINORITY RULES

MINORITY RULES. Therein lies the tragedy for our republic. When House rules are "tweaked" by the likes of O'Neill, Gingrich and Hastert for party advantage - when state legislatures "tinker" (aka gerrymandering) with voting districts - when governors aim to restrict voting rather than inviting the entire citizenry to participate.... We have to realize these short-term ploys for political advantage are slowly eroding what holds our wonderful system of government together. Sooner or later, the minority isn't just going to be a bunch of Tea Party ideologues lashing out - it's going to be an unknown and dangerous faction. It's time for the leaders of this nation to say - enough! Our system of government must be preserved - win or lose. Mr. President: stand strong. Mr. Speaker: bring the resolution to the floor and allow the majority to speak. Elected officials: encourage participation and voting for all of your constituents and allow the chips to fall where they may by fair and open process. America: get involved!!
