Hard Work And Committed Action Needed To Get Where We Need To Go
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Revolutionary change is a tough thing to accomplish. In addition to ideas, successful actions also require ideals. Hopefully, the groundswell taking form will prove to be such a movement. We are headed in the wrong direction currently with the leaders in charge pursuing an agenda at all levels of government for more (more power for government, more money for government, more control for government).
Bringing us to a limited government with maximum individual opportunity and personal responsibility is going to require a combination of adjustments that sweep big government advocates from elected office and put in place meaningful controls to preclude a repeat of what we’re seeing permeate our society today. It isn’t going to be easy to bring about this change. There are lots of people who appreciate having government (and other people’s money) take care of them – doing what you’re told is easy to go along with when you aren’t planning to do much with your freedom anyway. Others, empowered by inside arrangements with the political party in power also appreciate having their agenda’s implemented – who cares whether others have to pay the price, when you’re getting yours?!
Along the way to the changes that are needed we going to see lots of those seeking to discredit and belittle…it’s their way of advancing their own cause of maintaining big government in charge.
As we move on to November 2010 and the showdown at the polling booths, there will be plenty of distractions and drama to be played out. Anger and frustration over the current circumstances will offer some motivation to maintain the tidal wave we hope will flush enough from their current positions for positive change to happen – but, there cannot be just negative power in play to accomplish what’s needed. Examples like the French Revolution and the Communist Revolutions in Russia and China demonstrate that negative only feeds on itself until freedom is actually destroyed in its pursuit.
Selling the proactive vision of meaningful opportunity and building on core values that Americans still hold is the foundation which will advance the mission that needs to be successfully completed. Those (like the current majority party in place in Nevada and Washington, D.C.) who consider government to be its own end with more important needs than the people who have to pay the bills do need to be held accountable for their actions, but replacing them with leaders who have the same concepts, but a different party affiliation isn’t acceptable either.
No, I’m not suggesting a test of true believers, but I think the changes will come from those who step forward and are able to demonstrate that they are committed to taking our society (local, state and national governments) in a direction which offer appropriate limits and constraints. Good luck to those involved in pursuit of this end result. We look forward to making that journey together…
