Happy 4th Everyone!

In case you don't receive email updates from Glen Beck, I wanted to share some his 4th of July comments.

It's the same thing with the state of our union. This July 4th we're facing some of the toughest times in our recent history. Not only does the corn on the cob cost a lot more than last year, but the drive to the grocery store is so expensive...you have to think of it like a mini vacation. America may be on the ropes, but don't you dare count her out. I saw the last "Rocky" movie the other day, and there's a line that Balboa says to his son that nicely sums up our situation. He says, "It's not how hard you hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." You said it Rock--that's America. From the time we declared our independence through the 232 years that have brought us to today, it's never been easy. We've been hit hard and dropped to the canvas once or twice, but we never stayed there for long. Yes, we've had some friends help us along the way, but the one thing that has always gotten us back on our feet is each other. "We the people" are still our best hope, so whether it's gas prices, the financial markets, or the rising price of corn on the cob, we'll take it on the chin and keep moving forward.

I'm not quite sure what Mr. Beck is trying to tell us, other than to say "things are tough, suck it up." I'm not sure the last time Americans rallied around the "sit back and do nothing" mantra.

We can do something about it. We can make sure we vote for candidates who are really stepping up for us, and not for their wealthy friends.

All rhetoric aside (from all the candidates for all offices), look at who is taking money from the powerful elites and who is taking money from the voters - that will tell you to whom the candidate feels indebted once in office.
