It has been a busy few weeks, with the Election being a priority to many of us. It is nice to see so many engaged and becoming active to make a difference in Washington. I am a Conservative…there I said it. It has been a difficult road to be labeled Conservative, mainly because we have not had the best choice of characters looking out for the best interests of our Country. My belief is that I can take care of myself pretty well and want very little government interference, and want NO handouts. If I knew someone needed a hand, I would be there. It is important to me to spend at least 15 hours per week volunteering. I have done this for years. I bet many never knew Conservatives did this.   
                    Unfortunately, whether Democrat of Republican, most of our leaders hold the status of millionaire and will work hard to maintain that wealth. They seem to have no problem lining their own pockets, at our expense. Capitalism is a great thing, but not when the Commoners are the ones who are being robbed. When our Nation began, the idea of a Monarchy was refused. Today, we have many ‘kings’. They steal from us, and have done far worse than the original 23 crimes which England committed against the Colonies, written about in our Declaration of Independence. Frankly, I am appalled that we have not done more to hold our leaders accountable. With that said, may we all work a little less and enjoy a few of the same benefits that our leaders enjoy.  Of course, I do not see any of that in my future, but we can always hope.
