Liberty Maven

As it turns out, at least for a few days this year the constituent’s voice matters. The House voted against the bailout today after getting a continuing stream of calls, letters, and emails from their constituents against the bill. This is a great example of the voter’s voice being heard. No matter what the larger results are of the bill being defeated the important thing is that people stay engaged and continue letting our representatives hear our voices.

So the stock market is in the tank and gold is up. At least for now, the American people have won. It is not clear what we’ve won other than the very simple idea that sometimes your voice is heard and can make a difference.

Less silence = More liberty.
