    Who Represents YOU America?

    Saturday, May 5, 2012, 6:17 AM [Character of the Christ]

    Americans have been listening to politicial rethoric for the past 3 years. The President, sorry I cant use the term OUR President, has been talking about helping those least represented, the middle class. Yet, who in his mind, is that middle class? What part of the middle, am I ?

    I dont belong to any of the unions, I instead belong to the masses, who work two jobs, to support them . I'm not a liberal feminist, therefore my right to disagree with the killing of an innocent, has no real voice, much less am I seen or represented?. And as much as I believe in preserving "Mother Earth", how can I in good conscience, not claim responsibility of an unborn human life, as its Mother?

    I dont own a small business, so you wont find me there? The promise of my healthcare remaining the same, has already been proven empty? And all those perferred folks, who seem to be "connected". Those who for some reason unknown to me, are in governments good graces, I never seem to be one of those?  I cant go out on disability, as so many have of late, because "thank God" I remain healthy. Nor can I afford to stay home and just collect unempolyment for 99 weeks. Who can, if they have nothing left in the bank? Or no family to go home to? 

    I dont own an oil company, even though at the prices of heating oil today, I should be at least a share holder? My local sewer and water has risen, to flood proportions? I see the stock market is still reaching new levels, as our 401k  remains flat? I dont own a small business, nor do I work for Bear Stearns? I am  lost in the cracks of political pandering. Never is my cause, mentioned? Nor am I even chosen as someones speacial interest? I never seem to be on the recieving line, of governments giving out something good? Maybe its because I dont believe in hand outs, I'm too busy giving out, I'm never there to recieve! 

    I can say I never heard my name mentioned, when it comes to those who say they represent me? I am however, represented, when it comes to enforcing or mandate laws of which I must abide with, even when I dont agree. There I can truly say, I'm represented!  I am represented when it comes to those who take. Never by those who give. And thats just find with me, I only would ask them not to be so giving. Then maybe I wont need that second job, so they can show how compassionate they are, towards the middle class! I am the middle class! And your compassion is killing me!

    I'm not a part of the media, hollywood, unions, big business, wall street, oil companys, green tech, liberal feminists, or the rest of the government supporting crowd. I dont want to tear down a cross, or bully a child, nor do I hate gays. I love life, all forms of it, and children most of all, which in my world, still includes those who have yet to be fully born. As I write this, I realize I am in a place where only one thing is left that represents me. And if government continues in its false attempt to please us all. Even "HE" will be removed, in order to form a more perfect union! Possibily a Soviet styled one?

    Either way, I wont be effected. Maybe its not such a bad thing, not seeing myself,  represented by those in power. Maybe being a part of the invisible, I'm far better off? Being invisible, you have only ONE who can represent you. And I'm certain, with Him being my SOUL representation, I am more than a TRILLION% better off!
