The 112th Congress was sworn in today. This ceremony was a historic victory for not only millions of conservative minds but, also, a staggering number of Independents and Liberals who Barack Obama let down with his change and direction over the last two years. Leading up to the Mid-term Election the Tea Party established a name for itself as a prevailing threat to Obama and his administration. Newly sworn in Congressman like Tea Party-backed Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, among many others, have some serious expectations to meet from a vehement and eager nation of citizens who elected them.

The Lame Duck Zombie Congress is finally over and the House of Representatives has acquired a healthy majority of Republicans while the Democratic numbers shrunk in the Senate. What the American people achieved on November 2 is a sign of how unbelievably amazing this country truly is. We, the people, vocalized our passion for America and the way we want freedom and our lives to be defined and our president and our government were forced to adapt and change course. There is no other country on Earth whose people possess more power and whose government is forced to such an extent to obey the will of its people. You can thank our founding fathers and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have fought and died for this country for nearly 250 years since the beginning of our Revolutionary War for that.

Here are some quotes from today’s Conservative victory:

“The American people have humbled us…they have reminded us that everything here is on loan from them…they seek a government that is honest, accountable and responsible to their needs.”

John Boehner

“The big changes today are of course happening across the dome…and I’d like to welcome the many new Republican members of Congress who’ve come to Washington to change the way things are done around here.”

Mitch McConnell

“The message from November’s election is that the American people have had enough and they want Congress to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, and I look forward to working with Speaker Boehner and my colleagues in the House to address these and other important issues facing our country ... Representing Western New Yorkers in Congress is a job I do not take lightly, and I look forward to continuing to serve the needs of Western New Yorkers in the 112th Congress.”

Chris Lee

The road to November 6, 2012 has officially begun.

1,754.3 miles to go.
