It's time for "Faith and Solutions"

4 months into the President Obama's tenure and we have discovered a couple of things about "hope and change":

1) Hope and change are what people cling to when government has stripped them of their belief in themselves and their ability to achieve their own personal American Dream
2) Hope and change are actually code words for politics as usual only with MORE government spending

Like many people, I tried to give the new President the benefit of the doubt for at least the first 100 days...but lets face it, he is exactly who we knew he was....he just campaigned to the right of McCain and once again the Democrats beat the GOP at what should be the GOP's game.

So, hope and change has become more political promises unfilled and the only change is that instead of having a HUGE spending social conservative in the Oval Office, we have a bigger spending social liberal.

I have said it 1,000 times before.....elections have consequences.

So, now that "it is what it is" what can we do?

I have some ideas!

The first is for us stop complaining about what has already been done.
Next, lets use our energy and desire for a better America to work together!

The fact is, those of us in the center and on the right agree on so much....these things we agree upon I now call the "Principles of Republicanism"

The "Principles of Republicanism" are defined as follows:

- We want low taxes and agree taxes are too high
- We agree government is too big and too wasteful and we want small, responsive, lean and solutions based government
- We want free enterprise to be allowed to work (that means rewarding success and achievement and penalizing failure without government interference)
- We want government completely and permanently removed from our daily and personal lives

So now, instead of getting bogged down and arguing about the details of how the "Principles of Republicanism" get implemented, we need to find leaders who will run on a clear and consistent message of the "Principles of Republicanism" and we need to support them and the organizations that are working to get them elected. Once we regain power all across America in the fall of 2009 and 2010 we can work together to implement the right solutions.

And it is time to understand that hope is reflective of the absence of faith. If we would simply work to restore our faith in ourselves and help our friends, neighbors, co-workers to find faith in themselves.....then one by one by one, our collective dependence on hoping government will fix things for us will wain and the indivudual and collective greatness of America will once again be on the rise!

We can do it! We can do better! We have to.......

Have faith in yourself....for that is where the key to your personal power and personal greatness is waiting for you!
