The American Revolution

As everyone knows in the American Revolution, the U.S. won its independence from Great Britain. The Founding Fathers set the country up on a revolutionary idea, a democracy. This nation from humble beginnings rose up and in a hundred years was becoming one of the world powers. Since then it seems that America's prominence peaked, and now is in jeopardy of falling behind other countries. Look at our government, it has grown too big, and is not able to sustain its weight, causing the country to slowly crumble. Thanks to the Founding Fathers we now have the chance to have our own revolutions, but fought only with words. Every year on the first Tuesday of November, we have the chance to participate. If we do not like the direction our country is headed in, then we can change it, we just have to take advantage of this right. With so many people not liking the direction the country is headed, why is it that the same people are elected year after year? This election is even more special thanks the the Tea Party. This movement that began small has spread across the country and is shaping this election. Become a part of it and vote for people, not for parties or normal politicians, but people who care and will strive for change. This is not the fake change that Obama talked about two years ago, but with real reform to the way politics is played out. We need real people who will stand against the progressive agenda and take America back to her glory days.
