CAN THE "SOLUTIONS FOR AMERICA" BE IMPLEMENTED?

Today, the Heritage Foundation published "Solutions for America," a treatise with merit and worth review by all who believe that our country is on the wrong track and that change is needed for our very survival.  You can read it at: http://www.heritage.org/research/projects/solutions%20for%20america

The "Solutions" document was introduced on Hertiage's "Morning Bell" Blog, with some interesting introductory comments, which may be read here: http://blog.heritage.org/2010/08/17/morning-bell-solutions-for-america/#comment-176388.

While the "Solutions" presentation distills well the problems we face and essential solutions, I see, however  two very substantial problems in their implementation.

1. These solutions generally require Congressional action to implement, and; 
2. The reduction of "Federal" influence and participation in our laws and lives, will simultaneously reduce the power and influence of those same congressmen and women who must take the required actions.  In part, because of the latter, the former is unlikely to occur.

Further, the voting population, as a general rule, does not understand, nor will they take the time to learn about, these critical issues.  So, while in some races, like that for Nevada Senator (Reid vs. Angle), foundational principle candidates (who might respond favorably to the changes the Solutions require) have been nominated, in most primaries established candidates, supported heavily by the Republican Party establishment, have been nominated (R.E: Missouri and the nomination of Roy Blunt - limited voting for foundational principle candidates).  RINO's will not introduce nor support the necessary changes.  They will not vote to limit Federal power and authority, nor to reduce their individual influence and power.

While the Tea Party supporters understand and advocate for real change and a return to our Federal Republic, the general voting population does not!  And there are more of them than there are of us.  While I truly respect and support Heritage's positive approach in stating the belief that Americans will do what is required for change, I question it's reallity.  From where I sit, I fear we have been too long asleep, and our previous apathy and inaction have brought us to the threshold of the abyss of tyranny.

My prayer is that God will hear our prayers, bless our actions, and, as He has done before (R.E.: WWI and WWII, etc.), lead us from the abyss and into the light of a government of rational law and order.  Without that divine intervention, while our cause is just, our army may be too limited.

This is my initial take on it - many other comments can be viewed at the "Morning Bell" link (above).  This is a subject I believe should attract the attention and interest of anyone who desires to see this great country return to its foundational principles and subsequently continue as a light and example of a law based, God centered, nation.
