On September 12th in Washington DC – Citizens from across the country attended a march on Washington and Congress to make their voices heard.  They were from Oklahoma, California, Missouri, Michigan, Texas, Indianapolis … with one message. That message was ‘they are unhappy with the spending of government and were given notice that all incumbents need to go!”

Comments heard were;  “We love our country and we are here to restore fiscal responsibility and limited government.”  “ I want smart capable people to have the ability to earn a living.”   “Many people are here with no party affiliation whatsoever …  it started under George Bush and it is escalating under this current president.”    “I am an independent …. I turned in my republican card.“

The overriding theme of the ‘Citizen March’ can be summed up with “Most people are so sick of the two party mess and the corruption that it has caused —- And they don’t want a part of either party anymore.”  “If I could vote for Thomas Jefferson I would,” said a frustrated American determined to preserve her constitutional rights.
