~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been busy and on the sidelines over the past few months watching the development of the "Occupy" movements across the country and here in the State.   I have my own opinion of the movement... however....

Crowds have moved in and taken a stand on what they believe in, sometimes facing arrest for actions they take.

After seeing the developments of the Occupy Oakland situation overnight, it's time to post up some information and a discussion platform so this type of violence doesn't descend onto the gatherings in our great State.  Random attacks on police, shutting down and vandalizing/destroying businesses is NOT the way this movement should go.  Protesting and Rioting/Looting/Arson are NOT the same things... Get a grip people!! Don't let your movement get hijacked by the anarchists that look to bring this violent element into what can be a peaceful protest, getting your word out AND eventually making the necessary changes at the ballot box.

There are many issues to be addressed in this country, figure out what you stand for and make a change in a peaceful, American way.  Violence is not the route to go... If we start feeding on each other, there won't be anyone left standing when the positive changes take place.  It's time to focus on where we're headed as a Nation and as a State.  Pick your cause, put it down in writing...yea, pick up a pen and write down what you REALLY believe, and make a path to real change.  Peacefully.

You watch the news, read the headlines and it's all gloom and doom.  Make a positive difference with the movement you guys/gals have started.  In the long run, it will serve everyone's purpose to unite as a country once again.  Our "leaders" are not doing it, saying it or living it... we need to.  Clear your head and pick up that pen and piece of paper.... Who Are YOU?  What Do YOU stand for?  What is YOUR cause?  How are YOU going to make a difference?  Peacefully and Focused, the right way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About me... I'm a fifty year old Conservative Texan with two kids proudly serving our Country.

I believe in both the United States and The Great State of Texas, the US AND Texas Constitutions and the Bill of Rights.  Life/Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, Fair Capitalism.... and a secure and fair Nation for all.

We can do this people, just do it right.
