A new Gallup poll released today and conducted on Aug 13-16 showed that Congress has tied its all time low in which only 18% of the nation approves of the job Congress its doing.  This month’s congressional approval rating dipped nine points from a Gallup poll a month earlier, and has fallen steadily since January, when the Congressional approval rating was at 35 percent. Again, the reason for this is quite simple.  It seems more true now than at any point in U.S. History that our elected representatives our failing to listen to the American people.

1) We are in a long and difficult war in Iraq - yet no one seems willing to unite and do what is right for the country.

2) Our immigration system is busted.  People in need of a legitimate U.S. Citizenship and the chance for a better life are not given it and at the same time the U.S. borders are insecure.

3) The U.S. Social Security System is heading for bankruptcy, yet the politicians - in hopes of scoring political points - are expanding who is being covered by a system which cannot afford to pay the benefits it already is giving.

While the major issues above need to be addressed and are being completely ignored, Congress is pushing to essentially make it a “hate crime” to state that living out a homosexual lifestyle is immoral.

Stifling free speech is not the way to help a nation be peaceful, righteous and prosperous.  Solving the major problems of the day by making difficult and righteous decisions is.
