Or on on on important issues that they were going to pursue I -- longer feel that the Republican Party represents my views the fact that. The fact is I no longer feel any political party -- representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. There has got to be someone. Someone in Washington please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me you are there and are willing to fight for our constitution as it was written. Please do it now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job and -- We -- please tell me.

Acorn. I don't want acorn or its affiliates in charge of our senses. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them on every real estate deal that closes by the way did you know that happens America. Stop all the funding to acorn and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I don't trust them with the taking of our census or with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before the taxpayers. Get any further involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a -- hell -- Stop protecting your political bodies who worked for the people investigate. Redistribution of wealth. No. I work for it I work for my money it's mine. I've always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me a job. That's the only redistribution of wealth I support but never got a job from a poor person. And let me ask another question why do you want me to eat my employers. We'll have -- shareholders making a profit. And charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person I have helped people in need. Charity belongs in our local communities where we know our needs that's continues local talent -- but out of our lives please. We'd like to do this ourselves. Corporate bailouts. Not."

Will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us a chance to innovate. We can't disappoint you more than -- disappointed us transparency and accountability. About -- really adding let's -- but selanne. Let's give the buzz words a rest and have some straight talk. -- talk stop trying to manipulate and -- with clever wording I'm not the idiot you obviously take before. -- sneak it around meetings in back rooms and making deals -- your buddies it will only be -- allude to your criminal investigation stopped. Hiding things from us. Unprecedented in quick spending. Stop it take a breath. Listen to the people let's slowed down what do you say we get some input from some -- and politicians. On the subjects. Stop making everything an emergency stop. Speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist she writes. I am not a community organizer nor am -- a terrorist or militant or a violent person I am a mother and the grandmother. I am a working woman I am busy busy busy and tired tired tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government. So we could work raise our families pay our bills have a little recreation complain about taxes endure are hard ships pursue our personal goals car lot and -- our cars on weekends and be responsible. Contributing members of society. And to teach our children to be the same all the while living in the home. Of the free and the land of the -- I entrusted you. With -- upholding our constitution.

To make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it. -- do you expect that I should trust to do with a debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We didn't want the TARP bill we said -- we great -- and if we could if I'm not so sure that we can't still do that. There's -- urgency and recklessness. In all of the recent spending from my perspective it seems this is one of my favorite lines. It seems as though you've all gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans. We wanted to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything it's being rushed bias and forced upon us we want -- voice back you have forced us to put our life is on hold this straight up the mess that you were making. We -- going to have to give up our vacations. We're going to have to give up our time spent -- our children any relaxation time that we may have had in money we can't afford to spend on mule. To bring our concerns to Washington."

" Our president often knows the right buzzwords to say his faith. -- new one is unsustainable. Well no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did we have to pay for the focus groups that came up with that one. We don't want your overpriced words stop treating us like morons we want you to stop focusing on your reelection and do that damn job that we want done about the job that you want done or not the job your party wants done. You work for us. And at this rate I guarantee for long. We are coming."

" We will be heard. We will be represented. You think that we are so busy with our lives -- will never come forth. And we -- The -- you've gone and done it. We are the formally silent majority. All of us who quietly work pay our taxes Obey the laws vote save money. Keep our noses to the grindstone. Now looking up at you. You have awakened us and the patriotic spirit still strong and so powerful it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far our numbers are far too great they may surprise you. They may surprise you for every one Abbas who will be there there will be hundreds who would not come. Unlike you. We will have their trust we will represent them honestly rest assured.

If you are not representing the needs in the once -- your constituency loudly in consistently in spite of the objections of your party you'll but you're gonna be fired.
