Keeping Our Elected Officials Frugal

It is one thing for us to maintain a frugal lifestyle and home, but as frugal homemakers we need to keep our elected officials frugal.  Trust me, this isn't easy.  Who is it that said "power corrupts"?  It seems that as soon as a congressman is elected they are sucked into a "money is everything" way of thinking.

Senate Yesterday

We may feel powerless and small in the big scheme of government, but no matter our economic or social level, we all have one vote.  And we all have a voice.

My plan is to put all of my government representatives e-mail addresses into my contact list.  Then I am going to start sending out short e-mails expressing my opinions on each days current events.  How many e-mails do we send to friends each day?  Adding one or two more can't be that time consuming.

Senate Today

Get on Google, or your favorite search engine, and find the addresses of your congressmen and governor.  One site is http://whoismyrepresentative.com/.  Then get started using your hard fought right to express yourself.  Catharsis is good!

One of my first subjects to vent on will be the ridiculous idea two senators have to build golf course resorts in Florida's beautiful state parks.  What's your beef?

God bless,
