So to continue the line of thought regarding our elected officials, especially those that work in Washington as either a member of Congress or the Senate, they basically, most fundamentally…are supposed to be working for us!  In actual fact – we in essence are their bosses.  However the sad reality for some time and certainly today, is that, although they should get respect for the office they hold, Congress members and Senators, it seems specifically, seem to think that they are above the “common masses”.  They seem to give off an “air”, that they know better than American citizens do, regarding what’s needed to both fix this country through a return to decency, manners, doing the right thing, responsibility and safe and productive communities, cities, States and this country as a whole. I am afraid that too many of them have been for too long working for others “masters”.  This is easy to determine, given the fantastically high amounts of money it takes to run for and have any real hope of winning a Congressional or Senate seat in Washington.

So we have two main  problems currently with our elected officials in Washington, that need to be fixed just as soon as we can…IF…we care about the kind of country we will live in and the kind of country our children and their children and their children and their children will live in.  Before I get back to this main point, perhaps you feel that as yet unborn generations twice or three times in the future, might not be your responsibility.  I leave that to you and the level of responsibility YOU feel is right to take.  But when one believes in and is 100% sure that reincarnation ( living in human form again and again) is a reality, as I and many millions of individuals around the world do, then one begins to take a larger degree of responsibility, as it just might be YOU coming back to this world after your current life ends and then YOU will be susceptible to, hampered by, effected by, whatever kind of world you are born into, in the future. Food for thought and discussion and the reason why I give a damn about what is going on here because I do not want to be born into a decayed, radiation polluted, police state, polluted, crime ridden society in ANY future life I have.

Now back to the two main problems we have with our elected officials…right now…today…that must be addressed!

The first is finding someway to remind them that they work for us…every time we address them….every time we send them a letter, call them…send them a fax, an e-mail, a text…any way and any time we communicate with them.

My proposal is for a name change!  Our elected officials should be called by what they are supposed to be doing. (Which I think too many of them have forgotten or turned away from).

Their new name should be changed from politician to…Public Servant.  I mean with a whoosh of a magic wand it is obvious that the terms “Senator” and “Congress member” and even “politician” are not going to disappear overnight. But did you know that the Kleenex company was told to start protecting their copyright of their name “Kleenex” which was starting to be a word used for every facial product item, no matter what company was making them.  So they had to add, to the name of their facial product – “Kleenex BRAND” facial tissues.

So names in society on a Nationwide basis CAN change when the right motivation is applied.  And there is a rather humorous and VERY telling effect in starting to call elected officials ( at any level), politely, by this new name: “Public Servants.”  Because the ones that recoil when they are called by their new ( proper I might add) name, gives us a glimpse past the “show” and we get to see a bit of what’s really going on behind their smiles and words they think we want to hear.  You see the ones that re-coil at being called a “Public Servant”, probably, most likely, dare I say “assuredly”, are NOT working for those that elected them, us, but other “masters”, who are providing the money needed for them to keep being re-elected and for this they will owe favors to the money brokers and not us!

So please ALL who read this simply make it rule from here on out that you will address our elected officials properly, whenever you communicate with them in any form, as we owe them the respect they have earned (?), so call them by their new and proper name – “Public Servants”.  And then be sure to watch their facial expressions or pay attention to their verbal response or written response when communicating in a letter or electronically. As this will tell you who they really are working for, depending on the response you see, hear or read from them.  This could be fun and it’s safe and respectable and proper…after all WE ARE their bosses.  And they have to listen to us and do what we want them to do!

Tomorrow: Handling the second problem with our elected officials…I mean Public Servants: Too much money in politics and too much money controlling our Public Servants.

Do something good everyday…
