There is a commercial running right now for Nextel Wireless.  It shows what appears to be a Government House Of Representatives.  It is filled with Fire Fighters! The Speaker of the House is a Fire Chief and he uses his cell phone to talk to the other Firefighters. This is the whole dialog

Chief: Ok firefighters settle down, How ’bout the budget

Firefighters; BALANCE IT!

Chief: And the taxes

Firefighters: ONE PAGE OR LESS

Chief: Anyone want better roads?

Firefighters: WE DO!

Chief: All in favor?

Firefighters: AYE

Chief: Opposed? (Silence) (Gavel) DONE!

Chief: (Rifling through pile of paper) Lot of paper to tell us we need clean water. Need clean water guys?

Firefighters: Aye!

Chief: This is the easiest job I’ve ever had. We’re outta here! (Gavel)

Announcer:Get more done now communicate with groups in less than a second with Nextell direct connect. 

This is the whole commercial! But it is more than a commercial for a cell phone company! This should be making waves all through Washington DC! The premise couldn’t be more appropriate!

To show Firefighters doing what our congressmen are supposed to be doing and doing it faster and less complicated is more of a political statement than a promo for cell phone service! Our governing leaders should be paying close attention to this commercial and others like it. It implies to me that America is becoming tired of the Status Quo in Washington!

We learned on September 11, 2001 just how brave and important our Firefighters and Police officers are. We also came to appreciate the fact that when we are running out of a burning building, they are running in.

I love this commercial, I found it on You Tube so I can watch it any time I want. It has me thinking that our leaders are taking way too long to get simple things done, I have blogged about some of the things I would like to see in our country, but all kidding aside, we really need to start bugging our congressmen and senators. We need to start sending letters, and e-mails and make phone calls just to ask them to do thier jobs! Get this country back on a good track. We have a great country, I love being an American. I am not knocking our country, I just think we all have a say in how it should be run, and we don’t take advantage of it enough.

This is my country, Land of my choice

This is my country Hear my proud Voice!

 I pledge thee my allegiance, America the bold

For this is my country to have and to hold!
