Isn't that the essence of democracy? The elected officials carry out the will of the people. It is not democracy if they get to Washington and decide for themselves what we want. "They elected me to do the thinking for them" doesn't work in this day of high speed communications.

We must push to change the way the world works. Not by force, by ideas.

First step: When we begin the draw down of troops in Iraq, deploy them and all the equipment to the Mexican border. The desert conditions would seem almost normal to a lot of them!

A recent poll says a huge majority of Americans say to secure the border first, then we can start talking about immigration reform.
