It's time to start taking care of our own - the young, the elderly, the homeless, the poor.
It's time to limit the time our politicians remain in office. New members should not have to play the ``good old boy network'' or perish.
It's time to contact congressional leaders in both parties and demand they stop the gridlock. Our leaders must create and vote legislation to benefit the nation.
It's time to stop the flow of billions of dollars a year to foreign aid, while our inner cities are deteriorating and in decay.
It's time to stop intervening in the political affairs of other nations.
It is time that our elected officials look inward to our country. They must divert their efforts toward making our great country a better place for all our citizens.
