Patriotic Americans who support the original Constitution need not give up at this juncture. To the contrary, with enough public heat there is still hope the public focus during the debate will change some minds. It is quite possible to make some desirable changes that can send a more sensible act to the House, to further implement the will of the people. Better said, the oft forgotten phrase, "the consent of the governed."

This does not obviate the fact that Georgia has two Senators that constantly take a public stance that sounds very much like they oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, only to vote exactly the opposite. They both need to go, but the nearest target is Saxby Chambliss, who will soon be campaigning full time for re-election.

We would like to see a strong, real conservative, develop for a primary contest where it is possible Chamliss can be eliminated. Then, there is always the hope that the other party might find someone beyond the special interests that control them, who could be a glimmer of hope that there could be once again a two party system. That was once a grand idea that they abandoned in attempting to serve special interests including those who invade our borders and those who benefit financially from cheap labor.

Don't hold your breath hoping and waiting. You may be working under an illusion known as unrealized expectations. Nonetheless, at this crucial point in American liberty, any positive turn is worthy of consideration.

There is a movement gaining momentum to fire them all and start from a clean slate. That's more easily said than done since the diminishing percentages that vote these days have a penchant for returning their local Representatives and Senators despite atrocious voting records that totally disregard the Constitution.

Making it even more difficult is the money. Does anyone see the whole plan for selection of U. S. Senators got totally flawed with the Seventeenth Amendment? The change put the election in the hands of the money interests and away from the legislatures of the states where local people responsible to the local electorate determined who should be in the Senate.

If you want to take the time, the Southern Party of Georgia just published a five page listing of the money that has flowed into Saxby Chambliss' coffers since he began listing contributions. It is sickening. Long lists of big money from the same sources, mostly the big Agra, Pharma, military, banking complex.

These are the very same people who president Eisenhower warned about in 1960 as he was leaving office. Remember, the military, industrial complex?

We ordinary citizens have no clout like these well oiled special interests except in one often unfamiliar place in which we need to re-orient and re-focus ourselves, the ballot box.

The question remains, will we?

The next time some disoriented converted Republican tells you he or she is conservative, have some fun. Agree. "Of course you are, just like George Bush, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. You must be proud of yourself and your party."

It almost makes me cry to think of the great Georgia patriots I worked with years ago to give us a new breath of liberty in public governance. We built the Georgia Republican party on a solid basis. It has been invaded and surrendered to political aliens who are no more constitutionalists than the failed leftist parties from whence they came. They deserve no amnesty either.

Do you smell the tamales?
