There is something big happening here in politics, something good.
We see the low information voter finally start to reject what Obama has been selling. We see Hispanic voters drifting to the conservative side over traditional family values. We see republicans standing firm for once, as if they were actually growing a backbone! They called Obama’s bluff over sequestration and even Code Pink has turned on Obama! Many of his allies in Congress couldn’t defend his drone strike policy on American soil that horrified the public. The new enemy is no longer terrorism, it’s now Chinese cyber-theft and that began on Obama’s watch! In California huge numbers of young people recently attended the GOP convention and with them came new ideas and a bold new outreach to the formerly disenfranchised voters re-registered as independents, declined to state and 3rd party members. I’ve been advised some of the old powerbrokers in the State party have been tossed out, done in by their own seedy plots. There’s a lot to digest here and it’s been coming in so fast… even the Tea Party is still gaining momentum.
Obamacare, the CA bullet train debacle, CA bankruptcy, the Washington pork spending, all the scandals and corruption in DC, a trillion dollars in new fed taxes, the high pump prices and its impact on the poor, the invasion of illegals that changed the demographics, the lack of jobs, the rampant deficit spending, the threats to Social Security, those costly corporate bailouts like Solyndra, therecent attacks on gun owners, sucking up to big unions, declining quality in education, etc. IT’S ALL TOO MUCH AND THE PEOPLE ARE RISING UP!
Jack, I’m glad you addressed this. As you know I was at that GOP conference in Sacramento a couple of weekends ago and shared with you the impression all of those college-age young people had upon me. It was truly a personal pivotal moment for me in what their’s and my grandkid’s future could be. A future with jobs, economic stability and a tax base that allows them to keep most of what they earned.
The other event that took place was a huge historical pivotal moment. It was when Rand Paul stood upon the Senate floor and demanded the WH answer the question he’d been asking for six weeks. It wasn’t a new question as Holder indicated, it was the same question. Not ashamed to admit I watch over 12 hours of his filibuster. I missed the very first, but saw those who came to join and show their support and his last words. (Thank God for the DVR and the hold button.) Not in our life time do I believe we will witness such a moment again.
Rand’s filibuster was not only an, “In your face” challenge to this administration‘s typical non-response response, it also put the “old-guard” GOP on notice they’re done as leaders. In my opinion McCain and Graham sealed the end of their political careers. I was even motivated to both call and email them the next day to tell them I’d contribute to the GOP/Independent candidates who ran against them to make sure they didn’t return to represent us. Graham’s voice mail was full so I wasn’t able to leave him a message. I’m assuming it was full from others who felt like I did so decided to not continue calling but did send the email.
Rand Paul quote: “I filibustered for the sake of the young people.”
Here are a couple of articles that I think indicate how others of like-minds see the change that is taking place. Of course the challenge will be to have enough join in to make a difference.

For those who have Dish TV check out “The Blaze” channel’s new program called, “On the Record.” Its first show aired last night called, “Surveillance State.” If you’re concerned about the drones violating someone’s civil rights you’ll be even more concerned about the NSA and the personal information that is being gathered and stored. Will Rand Paul, who appears in the show, or another brave soul stand up again to protect our rights under our constitution?
For The Record exposes the terrifying surveillance state: (Be sure to check out the videos.)
“There is little information today the NSA cannot acquire if it wants to,” said American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorney Alexander Abdo. Using the firsthand accounts of four NSA whistleblowers, For The Record exposes the truth behind the government agency that is invading American’s privacy under the guise of national security.
“I took all the narration out of the episode because these people are whistleblowers, and I have to let them tell their story,” Joe Weasel , senior producer of TheBlaze documentary team, said about the episode. “I asked all the whistleblowers the exact same questions, so I could see if the stories were consistent, and then I got out of the way.

Yes, Jack people are rising up saying, “Enough is enough. We want our country back for our children.”
