Bring Accountability Back to Government

Somehow our society seems to have lost large measures of accountability, the obligation to be responsible for one’s actions. Today we see all around us people blaming others for their actions. People blame their parents. Corporate officers blame each other and the employees for company failures. Our administration puts the blame on any but themselves for the failures in Iraq.

How much longer are we going to sit still and let this happen? When will we voters awaken and hold our elected officials accountable for their actions? We see stirrings even here in our own state, but at the national level we voters seem to be forgotten. The time is here to write, call, and otherwise contact our Congressional representatives. We need to hold them accountable for their votes in Congress. We need to hold them accountable for their words at campaign and other public appearances. Without accountability in government we are in danger of being left without representation.
