Listening To The People Will Tone Down The Rhetoric

After last week's tragedy in Arizona there was much talk about how we, as a Nation, need to turn down the "heated rhetoric." I believe the heated rhetoric is the result of people feeling our government is not listening to the people. The people speak yet the government does what it pleases. This creates much of the anger and frustration which is expressed in the "heated rhetoric"

I am surprised there has not been more violence other than on case of one unbalanced individual. People are disgusted with their elected officials not listening to them and forcing on them what the politicians think Americans should have.

The President spent time and taxpayer money hard selling his flawed and unconstitutional joke of a health care bill, thinking that that would get Democrats elected last November. Instead it lost them elections. People were so disgusted that they were willing to elect Republicans back into office. If the president spent some of his time creating jobs, then the Democrat losses would not have been as great.

Our governments need to start paying attention and listening to the people's will, and not the party's political agendas.

Even now I have to ask what is the President and Congress doing to create jobs for all the unemployed people? A message to our elected officials, "Start listening to the people!" or pay the consequences. We will tone down the rhetoric when the government starts to listen.
