Our current Congress is a total failure and the executive branch is somewhat ineffectual and ineffective. The Constitution tells us to throw out such governments. Well, I am not suggesting that, but We The People need to write, call, email, fax, and appear in the offices of all our representative.
We need to worn the stuff out of them an make them behave.
I do not know the truth about who is standing up right now because all the publicity goes to the town hall meeting of conservative congressmen whose constituents yell and scream and applaud letting their fellow human beings die in the streets.
Where are the rest of us? Where are we who truly believe that whatever the way we treat the least of these among us, we are treating Christ that way?
You do NOT have to be religious. You can be an atheist and still maintain a mind open enough to realize that the Prophet Jesus left us beautiful lessons on how to treat and love one another, even our enemies.
Or you can be motivated by an entirely different ethic of human rights, but ACT.
I am talking to me, too, so don't think I am down on you. We all need to band together and create a new Civil and Human Rights movement and force our "representative democracy" (supposedly) to become a decent, humane government that serves its people and is a good citizen of the World.
