PADUCAH, Kentucky – I wish I had a dime for every time I had someone, somewhere tell me that redressing grievance matters not, that petitioning government for a redress of grievance is, well, a waste of time.
Time and memorial, I have been told that petitioning government is a waste of time. That it won’t matter, “they will always do what they want to do anyways”. “So it don’t matter.”
I wish that I had a dime, a dime for every time someone, somewhere told me that. I would be a rich man.
Next to voting the petitionary process is the single most important thing an American, much less a human being worth their salt, can and should participate in. Bottom line.
Yet, still, and all we hear it told, and have it said, “it don’t matter they gonna do what they wanna do any way, so quit wasting time…” I have to call, respectfully,“Bullshit!” Because nearly 300k people have added their name to the effort to ARREST & PROSECUTE the 47 U.S. Senators who recently wrote that Open Letter to Iranian Dissidents against a, “Nuclear Iran” (whitehouse.gov ‘s “We The People,” #petition site). And by law government – at any level – is duty bound to answer, failure and or delay IS NOT and WILL NEVER EVER BE AN OPTION.
And while the powers that be don’t have to like it, they do have to adhere to it. Period. Full stop.
With that in mind, that being said what will Barack Obama do? Will he adhere to the will of the American people or will he just ‘turn the other cheek’? Ride off into the sunset and just keep on keeping on for the sake of just finishing his last years in office.
I’m inclined to believe the former and not the later. Only time will tell.
Until then though”Good night and good luck,” fellow Citizens of Earth…
