MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A drug gang has threatened to kill foreign journalists who report on the violence between rival cartels and security forces along the U.S.-Mexico border, media and U.S. officials said on Friday.

This doesn't sound like everything is just great along our US Mexico boarder. But yet congress in all their wisdom doesn't feel we need a fence along the boarder to help stave off the Drug Lords from coming into this country. It's much better to put our boarder guards in prisons for shooting drug dealers trying to cross the boarder.

What is congress thinking about? I guess Harry Reid has run up the White Flag on the boards along with everything else. In the last 50 years I have never seen anyone that stands for nothing like Harry Reid does. What does it take to inspire congress to work for the citizens of this country? I'll tell you what. A letter, a phone call or an e-mail letting them know what you want, not what they want.

An newly elected person can go to Washington with all good intensions of doing his/her best, but as soon as he/she runs into the good old boys, they tell him/her what they will do from then on. We have to elect people that are strong enough to stand up to for themselves.

When election time rolls around, take time to look at the voting record of your Senator and Congressman, see if they are doing a good job. A new person is better then an incumbent that's only there to collect their pension.
