Time To Clean House
Guest editorial

During the past two years, we have learned a lot about our elected officials. We have been giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping that all the wrongs they have demonstrated would be corrected by our democratic process. Well, guess what! It is not going to change by waiting for those doing the wrongs. If they are not going to correct the excessive spending and self-adorning tricks they do to fool us, then we have to correct it. We have to do it with the system that has always been in place. The problem is we do not usually do our homework. We have to look through the bazaar election commercials that always promise and never, ever materialize.

We are easily reminded how these politicians operate under the guise that they are there for us. Political cartoons say it all without a lot of words. The cartoons indicate that our government at every level needs to be changed by replacing them with honest and responsible people.

You are reminded that elected officials get started at the grassroots level and evolve on a path that can get them to rise all the way to the top.

        City………….
                County…………
                        State…………..
                                Federal…………..

And during that evolution, the data indicate they no longer are there for us but are there to make sure they can get re-elected and work to gain all the possible wealth they can achieve by supposedly working for us. Well, it is time we clean house; do our homework; fire the very many incumbents that are self-serving; and elect new people. And when we do, we need to remind them they won’t be in office very long if they don’t do the work required to save our country.

We need to weed out the rotten apples at the lowest to the highest levels to start a new generation of responsible elected officials.

Thank you
