Okay, I know that there seems to be a bit of confusion out there as to what the term 'grass roots' actually means.

By definition, grass roots means: the rural and agricultural population of a country; what is basic or fundamental (Websters Dictionary).

So, with that in mind, lets talk about the grass roots movement in America; i.e. the Tea Party.

These are everyday mom and pop Americans who are suddenly finding themselves thrust into the political debate over such things as higher taxes; smaller, more responsible government; and of course, the fight against the status quo that permeates the body politic.

I am one of those Tea Party Patriots. I am against the fat-cat politicians in Washington D.C. (and even in my own state of KY) that thinks they can go against the will of the people time and again. We are their bosses - not the other way around!

If these spineless jellyfish politicians worked anywhere else, they would be fired the first week on the job for incompetence. In Washington, and the state houses all across the fruited plain, they are not only continually employed, but they can give themselves raises... While many of us are in the unemployment line.

Having said all of that, this isn't a Democrat vs. Republican problem. Both parties are to blame for the mess this country currently faces. And that's because both parties have Progressives within their ranks. You know who they are. The big-spending fat-cats that talk about how we need to tighten our belts while they expand theirs. The ones that think they know how best to run OUR lives! The ones that constantly pour more taxes and regulations upon us like it were boiling oil - And we were trying to scale the walls of their castle.

Grass roots organizations are much like those that would scale the walls of that proverbial castle. To challenge those in power; to change things for the betterment of all concerned. They are modern-day revolutionaries.

And much like our founding fathers, they are fighting a battle that seems almost impossible, yet can be won.

Like the little train that said, "I think I can, I think I can," the grass roots organizations are going up that steep mountain. They are standing up against those in power (on the left and right) and slowly prevailing. There is a lot of mountain to climb yet, but I think we can, I think we can!

Organizations like Organize4Palin, Teens4Palin, Palin Twibe, Vets4Palin, Palin Promotions, etc. are grass roots organizations! They are everyday people that are tired of the status quo. They are tired of the business-as-usual attitudes that are killing this nation.

There are many that think that these and other grass roots organizations are detrimental to the GOP. Maybe they are, but is that really such a bad thing?

The GOP over the last few years strayed from their path. The Conservative Movement was to have brought limited government, lower taxes, and expanded liberties to all. The progressives in both parties have done everything they can to raise taxes, expand government, and spend us into bankruptcy. And all the while, our civil liberties have been slowly eroding.

So if the GOP wishes to be with the people, they had better listen to what the people want. After all, We the People are Americans, and also the politicians bosses. If they cannot do the job, then they should be fired and new employees hired in their place. That is how it was designed by our founding fathers. It's the lawyers and career politicians that have ruined this country and caused the grass roots organizations to spring up in the first place.

Sarah Palin says that if someone doesn't step-up and bring forward sound policies that she may run. I know for a fact that many of the grass roots organizations will back her. Common sense solutions is what the country needs now. Not more taxes, regulations and spending like there's no tomorrow. And if the GOP and the DNC can't get the progressives out of their parties, then it's up to us, the grass roots of America, to do so for them!

I know we can, I know we can!

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!
