Another political election year, a year that should be as important as waking up each morning. Our future and the times we are living in are being attacked. We have been more and more accustomed to a sense of helplessness, sitting back because it hasn't affected me or my family, but in essence it has.
We need to wake up! We face attacks, joblessness, foreclosures, bailouts, women's rights, Medicare, Social Security everyday and the list goes on. Unless you're a millionaire or a corporation who has outsourced good American jobs you have no worries. These election we must demand those who are running for office have three core values. Vision to look to the future and bring our America back to its core values. Core values that our forefathers fought and sacrificed for. Courage to stand up to the injustice that has been handed to the poor and middle class handed down by outsourcing and corporate greed. To have employment that is not merely to pay the bills or survive from paycheck to paycheck, but employment that brings us pride and dignity.
Love, love our country the greatest country in the world, to help its citizens to rebuild the America Dream. Help the struggling when they're down not Wall Street or corporations. Show compassion to the working man and woman. Stop the ignorance and hatred because of your nationality or skin color. I ask each and every one to make your voice heard and vote. Vote from your heart not because of political party, it's the only way to stop the division and destruction of our America.
