On Wednesdays, I usually post a few quotes from American leaders, writers, or artists, from the past or present, which strike my American heartstrings and force goose bumps to the surface of my skin. But on this particular day, one man who stood alone and said something so definitively reflective of American’s sentiments across the country deserves the spotlight by himself.

Indiana Representative Steve Buyer is the man of the day who stood before his peers and told Nancy Pelosi, “This is why the American people have thrown you out of power,” when refused the request to speak for five minutes to debate certain legislation being passed in Chamber. He then patiently requested to speak for one single minute. Pelosi continued to refuse his simple request, which was completely tyrannical and unconstitutional, and then he absolutely blasted her.

This was the scenario---Congress is currently in its “Lame duck” session and Barack Obama and his liberal proponents are trying to utilize all of the votes they still have to pass bills they fear will not stand a chance once the new Congress is sworn in. Not only are democrats on the verge of losing a large number of chairs they needed to pursue their agenda, which we Americans voted out, but they are about to be replaced with senators and representatives we voted for who will not be so easily persuaded to align with the liberal agenda. Many of these new senators and representatives are going to forego persuasion and downright buck Barack Obama, and that is why every bill you are hearing about in the news right now is extremely questionable. They would not stand even remotely in their current written forms once the “Lame duck” session ceases and the votes that were cast on November 2 become a reality.

1,832.3 miles to go.
