America is a little under the weather these days;  knocked down a notch by a chronic condition known as "state dependency."   You see, our national governmental body has been suffering an inability of its parts to function on their own.  The result is a very weak, run down body.  The symptoms are rather obvious:  generalized weakness, head congestion and constipation.   This explains why our governmental body has been sleeping a great deal lately.  It also explains why it can't hear us...it's all the head congestion.  As for constipation,  well that explains that uneasy, unsatisfied feeling we all have.
   The human body was designed so that the organs (heart, liver, kidneys) sustain the body.  The body was not designed to sustain its organs.   The American governmental system is very similar.  It makes sense that our govenmental body is suffering trying to maintain the states...it's "organs," as it was not designed to perform this task.   
   A strong state is the building block of a healthy nation.  But the states have abdocated their responsibility to function independently, and they have been draining the American body, rather than energizing it.  Let's not forget we are a federalist nation.  The U.S. Consitiution made the states the sovereign of the federal government.  By design, that means the states are in control, not the federal government.  But our state legislators gave up our sovereignty in exchange for cash to help bail out decades of failed policy.  They want you to believe that they are powerless at the hands of the federal govenment.  It's not true, but it makes their job easier if you believe it's true.
     The life blood of the governmental body is you, the voter.  We can, and must take the responsibility back.  My plans and proposed policies will accomplish the very important task of returning sovereignty to Indiana.  The General Assembly needs a strong dose of medicine.   Let's give it to them.   Whether it's a tough pill to swallow, or a shot in the back side is up to you.
