Change and Hope

Sharing

’Tis the season of “Hope” and “Change.” All the more so, since those are the bywords of the President-Elect.

It’s too early to see whether his changes will match our hopes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still hope for better days and ways.

This Common Sense program is all about hope. I hope that Americans will work together to restore citizen control of government. I share examples of citizens fighting to hold government accountable, hoping that regular folks doing unusually good deeds will inspire more people to join the cause.

For the last two years, we’ve been sponsored by the freedom fighters at the Sam Adams Alliance. The Alliance trains and links allies in the freedom movement. They’ve helped bloggers and activists throughout the country, emphasizing new online media.

I owe the folks at Team Sam a deep debt of gratitude. But change is good, too, and for 2009 this program is moving to a new sponsor, the Citizens in Charge Foundation.

I’m the president of the Citizens in Charge Foundation. We work to educate the public on the importance of voter initiative and referendum, and we defend the petition rights of citizens in the courts.

I’ll continue to speak out on the need for reform, for citizens to be empowered and politicians held accountable. I hope you’ll keep listening. In the end, what we think, what we decide, and what we do will make all the difference.

This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

iT IS TIME TO SUE CONGRESS FOR FAILING TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.

THEIR VOTING FOR EARMARKS AND PORK HAVE COST TAXPAYERS BILLIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY APPROVED MONEY FOR THE FAMILY OF A FELLOW CONGRESSMAN KANJORSKI OF PENNSYLVANIA, IT IS TIME TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND IGNORANCE.

THAT MEANS “FAILURE TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE” and we are the ones who pay their wages.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
