Who am I, Why am I Doing This?

Who am I: I am just a girl living in Ammon, Idaho. I was raised in San Diego, California until I moved to Idaho for my college education. In 2005, I had the opportunity to do an internship in Washington D.C. I loved every minute of it. I learned so much about myself and where I stand. Much to the annoyance of friends and peers, I started to pay more attention to what politicians said and did to the public.

Then the Presidential election of 2008 came. People came in and dropped out. I was left with less than amazing choices. I really sat down and decided what was important to me. I did vote, I did voice my opinion. I was very optimistic concerning the outcome of the election. President Obama was not my first choice, and neither was McCain, but I really wanted to have a positive outlook on his victory. However, it did not take long for me to step back and see that what has been happening has been "fundamentally changing" our country. Out of control spending, firing of Attorney Generals, appointing of Czars, Nationalized Healthcare, there is too much to count. This blog is designed to 1. Help people understand that as a country we are drifting father and farther away from the principles of The Founding Fathers through the agendas of politicians, 2. to get many people together to discuss what is going on and how we can educate those around us.
