Pushing Back

Dear Readers,

Few of us could have imagined when we were the age of my girls that we would find ourselves strapped with the challenges that we currently face as a country. Unfortunately, many of our politicians were “asleep at the wheel” or lacked the courage to speak up in full knowledge of the impending financial crisis. Now is the time for responsible Americans to get involved and supervise our elected officials more closely. Gone are the days when we can assume that we can go to work, do our jobs and expect our politicians to take care of our best interest. We have learned the hard way that lobbyist with special interest and party bosses are calling the shots. Instead of giving up or becoming cynical, we must take action and hold congress accountable.

In the next few weeks I will be outlining the foundation of my political perspective. As current events take place, I will also reflect on what is happening in the country. Hopefully this will provide a basis for discussion which will help all of us develop a plan to influence our federal government. Our founding fathers never planned for a two party system which would to be controlled by lobbyist promoting special interest groups. Join me as we work together to bring new leadership to congress for a better tomorrow.

Peace and Progress,

Clinton Bennett
