Perhaps it's because the writer is female and so close to my age...perhaps it's just that she's captured in one letter so much of what is disturbing me about the current direction of our president and government. Whatever the reason, this has struck a chord. Please go read this Arizona woman's letter and (if you can get through on the site) sign it. And then, keep your eyes and ears open for voices who echo her demands and principles, because there is no political party or politician (that I know of) who is clearly standing for and fighting for them. It's going to take more than a tea party...

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
