Bred from hopelessness

Welcome to the Forum for the Silent Majority

I have always exercised my right to free speech (some call it my soapbox) at gatherings of friends, family and acquaintances -- you know, the personal touch.

Luckily for everyone but my husband, they're not around when I read the daily paper each morning.  I generally rant and rave about the stupidity of the press for not telling the whole story, the arrogance of 'our government' trying to protect us from ourselves, and generally just how hopeless I am feeling about our future.

Health care reform, the mess in middle east, our dependency on foreign oil, both the national and world economies, the environment, no matter which way you turn, it just really seems hopeless. It is that hopelessness that has inspired me to blog......

Bear with me, I'm a virgin blogger.  Never wrote one, and never read one.

So into the 21st Century I delve.  

• I know there are millions of like minds out there who think we should have smaller government that caters to 'we the people' rather than the almighty campaign dollar.  
• Millions of people who agree that we need health care reform, but not at the expense of hard working Americans while the pharmaceutical, and insurance industry makes a financial killing.  
• Millions who want big business OUT of government and 'we the people' back in the driver's seat.

I could go one and on,  but I'm sure you get the picture.

So, in the interest of hope from the hopeless, let the forum begin, someone is bound to hear us, and if there are enough of us, they might even listen!
