Today’s prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “the first 3 words of the first full sentence.” …. 1. Grab the closest book to you when you sit down to write your post. 2. Open it to a random page. 3. Locate the first complete sentence on that page. 4. Use the first three words of that sentence to start your post, then take it from there–write whatever comes to mind. That’s it! Have fun!
The House of Representatives has eroded since our Constitution was written. When I try to imagine what society was like in the 1700s I can’t get my head around it. This was a time when our country was forming laws for all Americans to live by. It was a chaotic time with several people eyeing the top positions.
They wrote the Constitution so that all Americans were living under one set of rules. It was the foundation our country was built on. I know there were heated debates over what should be included in the Constitution, but from what I’ve read about that time period, the worst disagreements were a shouting match. Our founding fathers were devoted to America, how to make America a better place to live and they would stand up to lead the way.
Not anymore, first of all, many politicians run so they can promote their own agenda not the agenda of the people. We’ve reached a point we’ve been in before and it’s sad and also gets my blood pressure up when I see some of the clowns from either party. We as a nation are divided, angry, and want big changes but the reality is our society mirrors our government. If our representatives delivered half of the promises made, we could start to heal.

Here are the rules:
1. Your post must be stream-of-consciousness writing, meaning no editing (typos can be fixed), and minimal planning on what you’re going to write. 2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop. 3. I will post the prompt here on my blog every Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a particular subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The,’” or will simply be a single word to get you started. 4. Ping back! It’s important so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below. 5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back to their post. Even better, read all of them! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later or go to the previous week by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find below the “Like” button on my post. 6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get! 7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views. 8. Have fun!
