Sen. David Perdue of Georgia Puts His Finger on It! Americans are "angry, frustrated, and scared" of Washington!

"People across America are angry, frustrated, and scared because they feel like Washington is not listening to them....The rise of career politicians has completely shifted the political paradigm from just liberal versus conservative. There is now a disconnect between the Washington political class and everybody else—the insiders versus the outsiders." Read more...

Exactly! There is one political party -- the establishment. Essentially, they are the country's aristocracy.
Many come to Washington with high ideals that last about fifteen minutes before they betray their constituents and start working for themselves. 

But at present, Perdue doesn't seem to be among them. He voted no to hike the national debt in October making a strongly worded statement in the process:

“This bad backroom deal puts unsustainable spending on autopilot and lets Washington politicians simply delay tough decisions for two more years. Congress should be working with a sense of urgency to solve our nation’s debt crisis right now. America can’t afford to wait for a more convenient time for elected leaders to do their job. 

“Not only does this deal increase the debt from $18 trillion to $20 trillion, but it also violates the responsible budget principles I have been fighting for every day. In typical Washington fashion, the insiders get to spend today in exchange for empty promises of savings tomorrow. Why would we trust a system that has proven to be untrustworthy? 

“Earlier this year, Republicans passed a budget that cut President Obama’s proposed spending by $7 trillion over the next decade and finally balanced, but this deal completely abandons that effort. Our long-term plan was traded for short-term gimmicks, trust fund raids, and even more spending. This deal isn’t compromise; it’s surrender.” (Source)

Looks like we need more David Perdues on Capitol Hill. Here's what his website says about his commitment to traditional values:

"There are principles I share with a majority of Georgians. I believe that we should promote a culture that values life and protects the innocent, especially the unborn. I also believe that we must protect traditional marriage, keeping it clearly defined as between one man and one woman. Being pro-life and believing in the sanctity of marriage are my deeply held personal convictions." 

Perdue wants to end funding to Planned Parenthood. He also favors local control of education which would put the kibosh on Common Core. And, the icing on the cake, he signed a pledge to serve no more than two terms as a U.S. Senator. Of course, he's up against an establishment party that is willing to capitulate on all these things if they can stay in power. But, from my perspective, he looks like a man of integrity who may (let's pray) maintain it despite the pressures to join the establishment.

But, let's face it, one man can do little in Washinton. So what's the solution? A new political party? Term limits? Revolution? Conversion?

A good start would be eliminating the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Talk about government controlling people's lives! But to ever get those kinds of reforms we need more men of integrity on the Hill. If you want to follow Sen. Perdue and possibly consider keeping him on your "good-guys in Congress list" you might consider signing up for his weekly updates. Personally, I'm going to watching him and see if there really is something good coming out of Georgia.
