The Nobodies

In this age of celebrity it is important to remember who really makes this country strong, who really works to make its streets safe, defend it, keep it healthy, fight its fires, help their neighbors, make its products, counsel its emotionally wounded, meet its spiritual needs, handle its waste, produce its energy, and teach its children. It is us, the nobodies.

When thousands of us turn out for the Tea Parties, celebrity “talking heads” on television belittled, lied about, and insulted us. A celebrity president mocked us. Celebrity columnists joined their television brethren in assaulting our motives and intentions, trying to paint us as radical extremists. “We are the celebrities; must listen to us and do what we say because we are better and smarter than you” seemed to be their message.

But the truth is they are nothing. What makes them celebrities is us. All we have to do to dethrone them is stop paying any attention to them. Celebrities in Hollywood would disappear if enough nobodies quit going to their movies. Celebrity news casters would soon be off the air if enough nobodies quit tuning to their channel. Celebrity columnists would soon be out of a job if enough nobodies quit buying the newspapers and magazines that they write for. And, our celebrity president will be history by 2012 if enough nobodies protect our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and vote him out.

The nobodies are the real power. Without us to buy their products and/or invest in them corporations go out of business. Without our tax money all our president’s grandiose schemes for more power become mere dreams. We are the real power and we must not let them deter us. We, who see what is going wrong in our country, must help educate our fellow so-called nobodies. If enough of us nobodies unite then almost anything is possible. Don’t ever give up. Don’t ever let the celebrities convince you that it is hopeless. The only power they have is the power so-called nobodies have given them.

We nobodies, otherwise known as “We the People,” made this country and are the real legitimate rulers of this country. We have the natural right, as the Declaration of Independence says, to alter it in any way we see fit. We have the power to restore it to the original vision found in the Declaration of Independence and the other founding documents. Because the truth is that we are not nobodies we are citizens, we are fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers, we are the real power of this nation and the reason why it was founded. We made the celebrities and we can break them just as easily. We the People have the power to take our nation back and if we can arouse enough of the people to the dangers before us, we will win. Keep spreading the truth, keep protesting, keep calling, keep organizing ourselves for resistance, keep doing what is necessary to return power to “We the People” and end the rule of the experts who think they know what is best for us and believe they must take care of us because we cannot take care of ourselves. The truth is we do not need them. We can rise up and replace them at any time with people (from among our ranks) who would probably be better at their jobs than they are.   So, don’t listen to the elites, who think they can browbeat you into submission. You are somebody and all of us together can easily overcome them. We just need to wake up some of our sleeping brothers and sisters.
