Thomas Jefferson once said, “A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.” (Pg. 238 The Way) People have been relying on government and its leaders instead of taking personal responsibility for their own lives. Thus we have a government we deserve. But the recent upset in Massachusetts has turned the tide. We all agree we need health care reform, but we do not need  Big Brother in every aspect of our lives. Most Americans are frustrated with the back room deals and the arrogance of those we voted into office to represent us.

The Massachusetts voters represented most Americans who are weary of Washington and its elitist views. Once, years ago when we were visiting my husband’s cousin who lived outside the beltway, I got a first hand education of how those who live in the beltway view those of us who live outside the beltway.

Kudos to the voters of Massachusetts, my husband’s home state. Change is in the air!
