How long is it going to take our elected officials in Washington
to stop playing games with out lives? It's time the American
people begin to shout loud and clear, and make their voices
heard before we're no longer the world's richest and most
powerful country and this whole mess that they created comes
crashing down on the middle class and poor.

i live in rural person county north carolina. it is 24 miles to durham where i and my wife work. i work 3rd shift and she works first. we spend about 400 a month on gas. we drive toyota rav 4s. groceries have gone up substantially this year. we have cut out a lot of weekend travel and shopping. people in rural areas have been hurt the worst.
