My point was that (with the exception of the last several years) most every power the government claimed was GIVEN them willingly by the people. The protest doesn't so much need to be against the government as much as it needs to be in educating the people to stop giving our freedoms away.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-3296461784811410602009-07-06T07:43:03.386-04:002009-07-06T07:43:03.386-04:00FYI - Quilly -

As to too much taxation, I think a closer look should be taken on how and on what money is spent, but if the American public is going to demand services from their government, they're going to have to pay for them.<br /><br />Folks need to be careful when they start shouting "throw the bath water out" that the baby isn't still in the tub. We can't have less government and all those services we've come to rely on. Kiss your fire department and those wonderful life saving EMTs good-bye. Our constitution doesn't say anything about paved roads, interstate highways, water treatment plants, county hospitals, public libraries, parks and recreation facilities, National Parks, sewage treatment plants and a whole host of other things.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-68773082273572872212009-07-05T17:24:25.519-04:002009-07-05T17:24:25.519-04:00Only in America, We all can be thankful and proud....Only in America, We all can be thankful and proud.Janishttp://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-36574537584707917362009-07-05T15:44:47.074-04:002009-07-05T15:44:47.074-04:00Isn't it wonderful that we live in a country w...Isn't it wonderful that we live in a country where we have every right to peacefully protest? I have been following the events in Iran with great concern. Whatever the ins and outs of their internal political situation, I am horrified at the violence with which people's protests have been put down. It makes me even more grateful to live here.

The historical amount of spending by this president and congress is even giving Colin Powell a reason to speek out this week on CNN. The rallies are a way for people in a grass roots effort with no politicians present, dem. or rep. to voice their concerns.The Freedom Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308306424622477519noreply@blogger.com
