We Will Not Be Quiet!

Note: Written in response to the assertion by the elected officials in Washington that the citizens calling themselves Tea Partiers were a bunch of political radicals and crackpots.

They want the people to go away
To keep quiet
shhhh…. don’t say a word.
But…we’re not!
We the people elected them!
Why should we stay quiet?
This is our country!
We are the people!
We are the voters!
We own this country…not the elected officials!
So..why should we be quiet?
Why should we go away!
Who in the hell are those elected officials anyway!
Get out! Get out of my government! I don’t want you anymore!
“….when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” [Declaration of Independence]

Well said. We decline to "sit down and be quiet." We'll stand our ground, speak our piece and make our voices the last thing they hear in their offices. Where they go after that is of no concern.
