The Democrat Party... Party of Freeloaders

Today, I'm addressing all the democrat senators out there who have fled their state or are planning to flee their state in order to block the new "Right to Work" laws from being voted on. Then I will address the republican senators in these states and end with a few comments to the people that read this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Democrat Senators,

You were put into office to vote either for or against the bills, laws and legislation that are put before you, as well as to introduce new bills, laws and legislation. You are currently being paid by the tax payers of your state to fulfill this duty. It's really that simple. It's not even a hard job. The hardest part is understanding all the legal language in these documents and I understand that the double talk can get confusing. But, most of you have people who read these documents for you and tell you what they say by breaking it down into simple english. So when you think about it, all you have to do (and get paid to do) is say yes or no.

If either yes or no aren't good enough, you then have the option of presenting ideas that will be taken by the people that work under you, who then turn them into amendments that you get to present for more (are you ready for it?) yes or no votes.

"Well, you're over simplifying the work we do!" is probably what you are saying to yourself at the moment. I will admit, I am simplifying it a little, but not a lot. Even the long drawn out speeches you give aren't even written by you. Once again you fall back on the people under you to do all the work. You are nothing more then a face to present a collective view.

Now to be fair, it is the same on the other side of the isle. The republicans are just like you, they have people under them that do all the work, while they just present it and vote on it. The key difference is, the republicans are actually doing what they are paid to by showing up to vote and debate. They aren't trying to shut the government down by fleeing so that they can avoid the issues that they have been paid to deal with.

You, on the other hand, have been running away from your responsibilities like a thief running from a police dog. You have fled your states, running to states that have democrat governors out of fear that if you go to the red states you will be detained by the troopers in that state, the shipped back to your state where you will be forced to do your job. Oh the humanity!

Now, I understand protesting a bill by refusing to vote, I do... just not when it is going to lock up the system. Doing so while still accepting pay has made you all into a bunch of freeloaders. You are no better then the people who abuse the welfare system just because they don't want to be responsible citizens (I am only talking about the ones that abuse, not the ones that actually need it). You have made yourselves a parasite upon the tax payers of your state and you should be ashamed.

I hope the people in your state see exactly what you are doing and how you are stealing from them. If they do, then you are screwed. If they do, come next election cycle, this will hang like a cloud over your head as you are cast down from your high and mighty perch to the streets below. If they do, you will become a footnote in the pages of history, perhaps even forgotten all together.

You will destroy yourselves and the party you represent if you continue along this destructive path.

Sincerely,
Princess Arylin

Republican Senators,

Thank you for coming to work even when your democrat colleges refuse. You are showing the tax payers in your state that you actually care about the work you were sent to do for your state. You are doing what many people feel is the right thing by sticking to your guns and not caving. Make sure that the people know that you are doing what you were sent to do and you will not back down because this is what the people of your state demanded.

Also, be sympathetic to those that disagree with you, empathize. Let them know that you understand their concerns and will address them as best as you can. But do not cave on your principles, that is what got you in trouble the last time. If you give in and let yourselves be overrun you will not get a second chance.

You have a lot to prove and make up for in the eyes of the people. Trying to pass as "At least I'm not as bad as the democrats are!" isn't going to cut it. You need to show the people that you have backbones, that you aren't going to just bend over and take it any more. Stand and fight.

Now is the time to prove yourselves.

Sincerely,
Princess Arylin

We are at a time where our country has a lot of important decisions to make. We, as citizens of this great nation, have to stand up and let our leaders know where we stand. If we sit by passively, let the minority of people who want to see the US go the way of Europe take control and overrun our state houses and our national capital, then we deserve to fall. But I have faith that we as Americans are better then that. We will stand up and fight for every inch of ground. We persist. We do not back down. We will prevail.

We must not allow the self-destructive policies that have been pushing up to the brink to continue. We must use the power of the vote and throw the people (both democrat and republican) out of office that have brought up to this place. We must draw the line and be ready to defend it at all costs.
