From Politico<\/em>:<\/p>\n Three-quarters of the nation’s voters are “angry” at the federal government’s policies, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey<\/a> out Monday.<\/p>\n Of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed Feb. 5-6, 75 percent said they were either “very” or “somewhat” angry with the “current policies of the federal government.” Forty-five percent said they were “very” angry….<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Read the rest<\/a><\/p>\n And via the Washington Post<\/em>:<\/p>\n Two-thirds of Americans are “dissatisfied” or downright “angry” about the way the federal government is working, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. On average, the public estimates that 53 cents of every tax dollar they send to Washington is “wasted.”…<\/p>\n The opening is clear: Public dissatisfaction with how Washington operates is at its highest level in Post-ABC polling in more than a decade — since the months after the Republican-led government shutdown in 1996 — and negative ratings of the two major parties hover near record highs….<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Read the entire article<\/a><\/p>\n While I’ll freely concede that a lot of this dissatisfaction comes from those on the left who don’t think Obama is doing enough to ram health care down our throats and from those on the right who doubt his civil liberties-violating\/world policeman credentials, it’s good to see that the American peoples’ ire is at least being focused in the right direction, as Dr. Paul has frequently mentioned. The gridlock resulting from the populace’s outrage has helped to guard our freedoms and buy us more time to organize opposition to both parties’ invasive plans.<\/p>\n Ultimately, regardless of the underlying factors, the current unrest has presented us with an excellent gateway into conversations on what’s truly wrong in this country and what must be done to fix it. Consider the impact of the growing distrust on movements such as Audit the Fed, which has in turn led to open discussions about our monetary policy for the first time in decades. Or look below<\/a> at the blog posts dealing with Virginia passing Tenth Amendment legislation, due in large part to constituents pushing their local legislators to stand up to an out of control federal government. The climate is perfect for these kind of bills, which continue to spring up all across the country.<\/p>\n Rahm Emanuel stated that you never want to let a serious crisis go to waste. Seems to me that the government has a significant crisis of faith on its hands, and I don’t think we should let it pass by without taking advantage of the sentiments to create true, legitimate change.<\/p>\n Keep spreading the message and signing up your neighbors to your local C4L groups. The time for action is now, and our chances of taking back our country have never been greater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Matt Hawes From Politico: Three-quarters of the nation’s voters are “angry” at the federal government’s policies, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey out Monday.
