Day 293: Go back

I don't feel good tonight, so short and sweet. If you didn't read yesterday's blog, PLEASE GO BACK and read it and contact your congressmen, senators and the White House.

Below is a website where you can find your officials at every level and be informed about what is happening in the House and Senate any given day.

When you see something that is unfair and ridiculous, write them. When you see people being mistreated, falling through the cracks, write them. When you know there has to be a better way, write them.

Our government is a democracy so that one voice does not overpower the many. Let the many rise up and take a stand for things that matter. Like keeping our military strong and properly compensated for the immense sacrifices they make for us!!

In a few days, deer season will open. For most of you reading this blog, it will pass you by without a thought. For Chad, deer season is his Indy 500, UFC, Superbowl and World Series all rolled into one. Other than for me and his children, my husband lives to hunt. I currently have half my garage devoted to his various hunting paraphernalia. Every year that he is home, he goes hunting and brings home his limit. He tans the hides, mounts the skull, butchers the meat. He has missed hunting season for 5 out of the last 7. Now he has been creative and found ways to get to hunt, bow hunting and muzzle loaders, and hunting Axis deer which are not regulated in Texas, but 5 out of 7 years!?!? Ridiculous. That is just one of many sacrifices he and his fellow soldiers make.

They deserve the salaries they earn. They and their families deserve the health care. If they serve for 20+ years, they deserve the best retirement and health care we can give them. Make your voice heard today.

If you don't . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  whose voice will they be hearing and what will it be saying. Please GO BACK and read yesterday's blog, get involved!

click "cool" if you write to an elected official about this issue.
