CHANGE: A CALL TO NEVADANS

There’s been a lot of talk lately about change. One of our presiden-tial candi-dates repeated the word so often, in fact, that it became a mind numbing chant that eventually lost its meaning. Nevertheless, it carried him to the presidency.

But don’t get me wrong. I too believe in change.

I believe, for example, that it’s time we began making substantial personnel changes in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. As you know, it’s our duty and prerogative as American citizens to periodically effect such changes. Regrettably, we will not be able to clean up the whole mess single-handedly or overnight. We will have to call upon many others, all across the land, to do their part as well. But if we will look upon it not as a burden but as an opportunity, and pitch in with willing hearts, the job could easily be accomplished in a few short years. And what a gratifying difference it would make in the political scenery.

Many of the pathologically deceptive and inept office holders who now clutter Washington are the very ones whose dereliction and unconscionable performance brought about the recent world-wide financial collapse. Their failure to maintain strict control, through existing regulations, of the nation’s credit and money supply has resulted in dire economic and political consequences for us and our children.

The Bible tells us that whatsoever we sow that also shall we reap. It also tells us that when the wicked rule, the people mourn. We have loaded our nation’s capitol with self-serving hacks. Is it any wonder, then, that things are falling into disarray?

Our political future is becoming increasingly tenuous. The unprincipled narcissists in Washington, whether by clever design or unbridled incompetence, are methodically robbing us of our priceless birthright. Are we going to stand idly by and let them complete their horrific task? We have the noble blood of patriots flowing in our veins. Shall we just hand over to this band of crooks and hustlers what our ancestors paid so dearly to acquire?

Fellow Nevadans: Open your eyes! We’re upholding and abetting a scoundrel in the U.S. Senate, a man who is a bona fide menace to good government and a major impediment to genuine prosperity. He’s our state’s shameful and virulent contribution to the political affliction that is infecting and destroying this country. I call upon you to join a worthy and honorable cause. I call upon you to unite with me in remedying a tragic mistake.

On November 2, 2010, go to the polls and strike a blow for freedom; give a pink slip to one of America’s most calculating politicians and Nevada’s ranking hypocrite--Harry Reid. If you do, another noxious and pestilent organism will be removed from our weakened and diseased political system. And that, my friends, will constitute real change, wholesome and hopeful change.

Change we can believe in.

The integrity and faithfulness of public servants are not apt to be greater than the public demands.
