While America Slept!
In the United States today, our Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, and Judicial Branch are controlled by decadence, corruption, greed, and self interest. Yet, we do not heed Mark Twain’s advice – “The true measure of insanity is repeating past mistakes and expecting different results.”
There is a movement in the United States, as I believe was demonstrated in Alabama, Virginia, and Massachusetts. This movement is the change the current President talks about, but does not really comprehend. President Obama believes he is the CHANGE and the WE in “Yes WE can.” President Obama is wrong. The CHANGE and the WE is the slow waking of the silent majority of America.
First, who is WE and just who is the silent majority?
The WE and silent majority are hard working Americans. WE are the foundation of this great country. The silent majority financially support the United States Government, State Government, County and City government. We care for our family, our church, and our community. We complain little and realize that the world is not a perfect place. We know our limitations, and we truly do not know how to submit bills, laws, or regulations for vote in our government. For over 200 years we have trusted lawyers, judges, and politicians to take care of those matters for us. We supported these people with our tax dollars to provide a comfortable living and retirement for their service. We had hoped these people would reciprocate. Our trust has been broken. The current level of government across this nation is decadent, corrupt, and politics for personal financial gains.
The rising of the silent majority!
News reports and the White House relay information via media, that the last Presidential Election and current elections are reflections of anger and people want change. It is my opinion that President Obama and media are truly underestimating the silent majority. It is my belief that even though it is slow, it is a surety that the American hard working poor silent majority is waking up. The silent majority paid attention when a dark horse politician suddenly took a Presidential election from well established politicians. It is a fact that the dark horse was well funded, well marketed, and an established corrupt politician. The difference Capitol Hill, White House, State Capitols, Local governments, and lobbyists don’t see is that the silent majority realized they do have the power to make changes. When the silent majority elected the dark horse President they realized it was their power to make or break a candidate and their vote did count.
What is the Change?
How many times after the election of John F. Kennedy, when the silent majority wanted and elected a young and new fresh look after decades of dower old ideas, did you hear people say they didn’t vote because their vote really doesn’t count?. The silent majority didn’t really care about Washington and politics because they were working at a good job, making a livable wage, and enjoying a comfortable retirement. Since America was working, comfortable, and looking forward to years of retirement, they didn’t pay attention to dark skies of politics. America had the best education, the best health care, and the best lifestyle in the world. The silent majority fell into a deep sleep of contentment. The filth of greed and corruption ate its way through the values and trust we gave all politicians. Politics became a lifestyle, not a service. Politicians are entrenched in a lifetime of self gratifications, not service. The change in our life as the result of our sleep has started shaking the silent majority to its core. The silent majority is rising from a slumber that changed them from the best in the world to the working poor. The silent majority no longer make a livable wage. WE have almost the worst education and worst health care in the world. WE no longer have a spendable income. WE have become the indentured servant to Financial and Corporate interests. “WE owe our soul to the Company Store.”
The CHANGE of Awareness!
When WE started to wake from our sleep and saw this black change in our world, WE knew we must start to make changes. WE must get back our dignity. WE must free ourselves from this indentured slavery. WE must take back the United States before this great country is turned into another third world nation. WE must not allow control of our spirit, creativity, and intelligence by the power of greed and self gratification by ignorance.
WE are awaking to take back our governments (Federal, State, and Local). WE are awaking to realize our trust in representatives is no longer valid. WE are awaking to recognize the power of the people and the power of our vote. WE are awaking to demand representatives remember this is a service position and that service is to the people of the United States. WE are awaking to understand our power as a UNITED people. WE are awaking in recognition that every one vote can and will make a difference. WE are waking to the awareness of our changed world. WE are awaking to the awareness of our power. WE the silent majority, the working poor class of the United States, are the CHANGE.
What CHANGE is required?
The first change is beginning. The first change is removing all incumbent politicians sitting in every elected office. The other change must be the following. All elected positions must be given term limits. All elected positions will remove exclusive perks such as preferential, fully paid, and retirement guaranteed health plans, retirement plans, private banks, exclusion from prosecution for criminal activity, and tax evasion without penalty. All elected positions must provide a public Resume` or CV published to establish competency and experience for the elected position. All elected positions must provide a public plan to govern. This public plan would not be marketed or produced public rhetoric, but must include measurable goals and objectives. This public plan would include direct measurable actions. A person running for Governor of Florida for example (Alex Sink) would no longer be allowed to say, I will bring jobs to Florida. The candidate would provide a list of proposed manufacturers, the type of positions, the estimated wages of positions, and the type of manufacturing. The candidate might also provide new manufacturing in the State and how new manufacturing will be financed. A candidate should no longer be elected based on vague promise, but concrete, presented, and public facts. Don’t tell me, show me. Media marketing should not elect a candidate. Racism, gender, age, and looks too often elect the wrong candidate. Media marketing needs to be limited to a name and public presentation of the above stated competency public disclosures. No candidate can run without providing the above CV. Candidates can mail, email, twitter, facebook, other internet markets, paper, TV, billboard, or any type of media market these written presentations. No photo, age, race, or gender should be allowed in any media presentation. The candidate should be elected on the plan and competency by an informed voter not elected as a media American idol. “How often have I heard, well he looks good in a suit.”
The Power of CHANGE!
Mahatma Gandhi said, “WE must be the CHANGE we desire in the world.” This one man did make vast changes in the world because he understood just who the WE are. Mahatma Gandhi understood how to CHANGE. Martin Luther King Jr. understood WE and he understood how to CHANGE.
Both these men understood CHANGE is not through violence of masses, because the CHANGE comes from within. CHANGE is individual like fingerprints. WE need not wear the same clothes, live in the same houses, attend the same churches, worship the same God, drive the same car, or have the same income. WE are all different with different needs and wants. WE know we are unique. CHANGE is achieved by changing our way of thinking and way of doing business. CHANGE is a silent thing like the silent majority. It is strength of mind, not force. CHANGE is in our power. CHANGE is ours to control and not give away. “Yes WE can!” is our power.

Thoughts on the Susan Boyle Phenomenon
The Susan Boyle Phenomenon: An average middle aged woman sings a song and the World Turns. Four months ago this average middle aged woman walked on stage and sang a song. She was thrilled when the judges informed her she was a finalist. She returned home to Blackburn Scotland. Suddenly she is hounded by Paparazzi, surrounded by children for autographs, sought after for TV interviews, and guaranteed a recording contract. All because of a clip on you tube.
There have been many that say it is spirituality regarding this phenomenon. Some have placed the world’s cynicism on this phenomenon. Some people call it the underdog syndrome. My view is a bit pragmatic.
The Susan Boyle Phenomenon isn’t about an ordinary woman with an extraordinary voice alone. The phenomenon that is occurring is about Susan, you, me, and current global humanity. The vast majority of humanity is quite ordinary, yet we are marketed consistently by others values of beauty and success. The ideal of unattainable achievement is eternal youth, flawless skin, an unrealistic perfect weight, expensive makeup, designer clothes, hair coiffure, and nails. We are waxed, painted, starved, exercised, and dressed to fit some one else’s image.
Then someone that doesn’t fit the unreachable goals set for humanity, comes in and boxes the ears of the Botox Plastic elitist world. Look at me, I may not fit your mold, but I have pluck and I have talent. Susan Boyle is the ear boxer and we, who are the majority of people in the world stand in cheering applause. This ordinary woman proves to us all that all ages, all sizes, all dreamers have a right to recognition and not just those elite few that are able to mold, Botox, and plasticize their way into the exclusive elite club.
That is the Susan Boyle Phenomenon; it is an ordinary woman that represents the world, not just a few. It is the world striking back in these dark recessionary times and saying in rebellion without blood shed, we are fighting your suppression. We are all ordinary people with talent. Some of us are extraordinary, and some us are not, but we are all special. Susan has become our symbol and we are shouting to the world.==Visit my SenseSword you tube at: The Susan Boyle Phenomenon: An average middle aged woman sings a song and the World Turns.
