America must wake up!


 Friday January 19th, 2024 has arrived and yes I woke up and am alive. Never thought I would be here at this age and getting ready to turn 68, in lets see, six days. I honestly thought I would be dead at 40, because of the life I lived in my younger days. Others who lived the same type of life I did, have not survived as long and are gone. I have seen accidental deaths, and suicides as they have gone by, people who I never thought would be gone are indeed gone. I never thought I would see, myself still kicking, yet here I be.

 As I get ready to turn 68 on January 25th, 2024, I do so, missing my wife of 28 years still. Yet, I also know she can not comeback to me, nor can I reach her. I know many will tell me, to begin to move on and I wnat to, but, since i havent found anyone to do so with, the memories draw me back to her. I also know the memories are great to have, and missing someone you loss is ok, I also have to keep living day by day, for the fact, I am here.

 I look for a way now, to try to just keep going, to laugh, to do what is necessary to keep going. Finding the small things in life that count most is not easy, when your alone you tend to stay to yourself, it’s a matter of fact. Those who know me, tell me to go out, meet people, have fun, thats the only way to find someone, but I ask, where do you go at 68 years old to do so ?

  I walk a lot as i said before, and if I see someone who went down, or is injuried I will help if I can. I will never refuse to help anyone who is hurt, I am not built that way, to just do nothing. Living in a 55 plus community, I see it as a place we should keep aneye on each other and help when and where we can. Not all of us have family nearby or that can be called and I am sure we all want help when we can get it. When you get to a 55 plus community like i am in, you know your here for retirement purposes, or to live out the remainder of your life. Doesn’t mean we die on getting here, just means we realize we want to retire in peace, have some quiet, and hope to make and have friends we can share whats left, with.

 In my case, my life, has it’s own rewards, to it. I spent my youngest days, helping my family at home, rebuilding a home for us to live in with my step-father, babysittng my younger siblings and such. Then, I helped all my firends I had that I could in my high school years and a lil beyond. I joined the Service at a young age and served for 16 years in 3 different branches of service, Army, Army National Guard and US Navy. I recieved a Honarable Discharge un Medical Conditions. I married twic eone, went 12 years, produced two daughters and now four grandchildren. The second marriage went 21 year, the relationship went 28 years, no children but, I spent 16 of those years taking care of a wife with breast cancer and that ended with my hospicing my wife till she passed on me in 2021. So yes, I have had a pretty full life, but, I am leaving somethings behind when I do leave.

 I leave behind when I die, some people i have taught things like drawing, some I have helped along in relationships and there will be my writtings. Stories, blogs, poems, they are out there for all to read. If they help anyone in anyway, then I have done good in this world. I have like all people my ups, my downs, my just hanging on moments, but I have also, given back whatI can, where I can and when I can. a person’s legacy may not equal those of heroes, or President’s or or civil leaders or more, but, we are not remembered for being heroes, we are remembered by those we care for, help, guide, defend or love. In life we make friends, some we keep for alifetime and others we pass by as we go. The same can be said for lovers. Personally, I know my lovers have been few and i can count them on one hand, not all reached fruiation, or relationship status, but I am not, one to mess with destiny of fate, I accept it. You can’t make someone love you, anymore than you can stop death from happening. Destiny and fate is all that is and we make choices, based on what we have already experienced in our past. We draw on all we experienced as we went along, and what we were taught by others, to make the decisions in the present day we live in. Just a fact folks ! We are taught by parents or those that raise us, right from wrong, and we go by those lessons, which is why family units are so important in this world we live in.

  Anyway, life is still going on for me as of today, and I watch the political world in America and wonder, what is next ? Are Americans really foolish enough, blind enough or accepting enough to re-elect a man, who lies, cheats, is a sexual predator and harrasser of women. and never kept a promise in his life again? I know many will think oh, another anti-trumper is all I be, but, that is not the truth of me. Ex-President Donald J. Trump does not belong in the White House or in The Office of The Presidency again ! Which in itself as a statement Trump uses himself to run for The Office of the Presidency proves the Presidency is an Office held in the United States and comes under the 14th amendment clause, of the constitution. I remind all Americans, Donald J. Trump, couldn’t sell water, steaks, or a university he ripped people off for money with, he cheated contractors out of money for work they did for him, and only paid them pennies on the dollar. And that just is the start of his crimes of his past, now add in sexaul harrassment of women, found to be liable for doing so and fighting with Judges over how much to pay. How about his Two Impeachments in Office as President, his running an insurection and riot as President and telling people led to walk down to the capital and stop the certication of electorial votes. How about his people yelling, Hang Mike Pence ? He called the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and others to the capital that January 6th ! Wake up.

 Four Indictments, 91 charges later and people still want to vote for this man, why? I don’t have the answer, but, I do warn you, re-elect him and you destroy yourself and your own republican, democracy you live in. This man was removed from the Colorado ballot and Maine ballot because they found him to be the leader of an insurrection against our country and constitution. Now it must go to The Supreme Court for a decision soon. The danger of Donald J. Trump is real folks, if you can’t see it yet, please go read his brief put forward to the Supreme Court fighting for Immunity. He warns the Supreme Court that is his claim of Immunity is not upheld by them, it will cause Chaos and more. Who tells a court this and gets away with it? He tells the court, that his people will cause chaos and destruction and go wild if he is not given full immunity. Are you kidding me, lets just be realistic and do what is right. If his supporters wants to attack and go crazy we have the National Guards and military to stop it all. No way in hell should anyone, allow one man to lead his supporters this way. Trump wants revenge for losing in 2020, he wants retrobuition for his loss. Are you kidding me? I wish someone would wake up this country, and wake up to the fact that electing Trump is just installing a dictator, or autocrat, and paying the price for it over four more years of more crimes and problems. America must wake up !

 

 

 

 

 

Issaac/ Election/ Facts


      As Isaac slams the Gulf Coast, and the storm surge is coming at the people there, I wonder what Mother Nature intends for the area! The Gulf States have survived many hurricanes and storms over the years and decades and more, but, what can be done to change the suffering and damages? The damages from these weather conditions, kill, destroy and cost America and their states, cities and people billions over time. So why would people continue to live in the way of such weather, what makes the citizens want to stay there is beyond me. I just hope as Isaac continues and starts to wind down later today, the survivors there, with damages will come to their senses and finally leave the area, no levees are big enough to stop Mother Nature folks!

Next, The Election which will continue no matter what happens elsewhere. As The Republican Convention rages on now with Romney and Ryan both nominated and now the candidates of their party, they will speak. I don’t want to hear anything except, plans to increase the economy, jobs and help elderly and future generations. Will they find a way, do they have a way to create jobs, put Americans back to work, and turn around the economy in America? Will they save Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, The US Postal Service, and keep HealthCare for all? If not I wouldn’t vote for them!  We can’t afford tax breaks for the rich, we can’t afford to baby those already rich at the expense of the lower, and middle class!  You want to raise taxes, tax the hell out of the millionaires, the billionaires and more! Please leave the poor and middle class alone. Don’t repeal ObamaCare as  it is now called, people need it, they need medical help, prescriptions and more and you will kill off the elderly and raise their costs of living!

My last message today Americans to all of you, who may read this is simple! America has risen to the top civilization and society in the world on the backs of the lower and middle class not the rich. We were handed, the current generation, a country with some problems but always improved by previous generations for us! Can we and do we want to give our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren a nation on the down slide and ending in ruin? Like previous civilizations that rose to the top in the world and ultimately destroyed themselves, America is now on that same brink now. We need to back off, find what will save us and make it work for the future generations, not continue to drive us deeper in debt!. Wake up folks, you can’t keep borrowing, you have to cut back, remove the unnecessary and lower costs. We can’t run our homes and families that way, and now we can not run America that way either.!

 

It’s Time to Make a Choice!


  A choice must be made in everyone’s life concerning certain events, certain possibilities and life changing events. For Americans this November of 2012 could be that moment in time! Be careful Americans, make the right choice or lose in November whatever you may have gained in the past 4 years and go deeper in debt and get no changes at all.

         Americans across our grand country are losing homes, jobs and belongings left and right, money is disappearing off the map in financial markets, and the stock market goes up and down on it’s own. The world economy balances itself and tries to survive by countries helping each other through mutual agreements for bail-outs. Will we be next?

        Wars rage across the globe that have nothing to really do with Americans, yet we nose our way in, spend our man power, time, efforts and money fighting them, for what? We need to stop it now and get the hell out of war zones and countries that are in this kind of trouble. The world is looking at America, as a possible saviour for the people of Syria too, but in fact we are too broke to manage to save ourselves never mind them. The will of America, it’s politicians and system has practically run out in the terms of world power. Yes we speak they listen, but then they laugh and walk away, doing as they please. The fact is Americans are tired of fighting wars we don’t belong in and policing countries that don’t give a shit about us too.

       Lets talk about our jobs markets and the problems with them. We need innovation, invention, intervention by Uncle Sam to jump start it all. Tax breaks would help to bring big companies back, these companies pay high tax rates to operate in America and get little in return and then when the numbers  get too high they pack up and leave. No one can blame a company for making it cheaper and making more money if they can by moving overseas. We are losing too many companies this way.

       Jobs are tight in America, this nation runs on blue collar, middle class jobs not the and white-collar ones. Proof  is in the historical look back at America, jobs were best and the economy best when the blue-collar middle class were the backs it ran on. Factories disappeared starting at the end of the 1970s. and continued to disappeared since. Manufacturers said nope can’t afford to pay the taxes here and moved overseas or shut down period. In the meantime no politician took up the cause of saving these jobs and manufacturers, so now the back bone of the America Economy is becoming White Collar Jobs and the Resale Industry and we don’t even sell our own things to ourselves anymore. Why is that? Is American Pride in building the better car, stereo, tv,, bike, or any other device now gone, we don’t care? What is it?

        In the meantime, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security,Veteran’s Benefits and more disappear or are threatened in one way or another, just like the U.S. Postal Service.  Why do we borrow from Social Security and the Postal Service, we are killing good things than telling disabled americans,and elderly people we can’t give them Social Security until they are 70 or 75, next step will be 80 years old and only a few live that long. Lets be realistic here, Americans. for decades upon decades, Americans have paid into the Social Security Program set up by our government for people who earn by working and paying the tax it called for. Now, It will not be there for the next generation because Congress refuses to fix it properly and Americans who paid in will lose the money they did pay in!. Why? Lazy Politicians don’t want to fix it is why!

     So come November 2012 we have to make a choice between two men once more, as to who will lead the country as president. I recommend to all Americans to look extremely close at who you are voting for in all offices not just the top one. The republicans own the Senate and House and they stopped all progress for the last four years. Obama Care did go through and if anyone repels it, it would be stupid for Americans to allow it. Wake up folks, It is time to listen closely to what these politicians are saying and doing! We need a President who will keep Health Care, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security in operation and existence and we need jobs, we need a job plan to get more companies back to america, more jobs for our people and politicians who care about America, not just their own wallets and purses. Vote carefully and I think if you do, President Obama will be in four more years. If you don’t we may end up with Romney and go further backwards till we do become a third world nation. So the Time has come America, for all of us who vote, from the baby boomer generation to make a choice that will affect America for a long time coming. We are now in our 50s. 60s and 70s, and will be leaving soon in some form or way, will we leave behind for those  of ours, a country in devastation and financial ruin and with no help for the elderly or will we make a choice that will save the future for our children and grand children and those beyond them and save America, It is time to make a choice!

 

Break the Blockade in Washington!


     June 15th, 2012 has arrived and all is really quiet on the political front it seems. Are we about to get a media blitz from the Republican Party come September or October for Romney’s mad run at the White House? Can his money really buy him the Presidency? Lets hope not, for America’s sake!

      Half way through June and it seems  no improvements have been made in the job market, medicare,medicaid and no rescue plan is in sight for us in the trade Agreements, Social Security or Postal Service jobs either!  The only part of the government actually working and thriving is the State Department under Hillary Clinton, why is that?

        I have now live through so many presidents it is silly really, when you get to 56, all you really want to do is have one damn good one in office dedicated to helping seniors and veterans and americans of all colors, races and nationalities. One that will stop the bleeding of the United States‘s money and finances and make us solvent once again. One that can and will return our credit rating as a country to the top once more and accomplish something period. A dormant America is not good for America, the World Economy or the World period, without America the world economy flounders and slows to a halt.  Sad isn’t it really, but true, we need to lead for it to all work. It doesn’t mean lead in wars, policing or fighting other countries, it means lead with brains, inprovements, science,financial control and trade agreements and in health and education too. America always led in the past and the world flourished and grew faster than anything in history and America needs to do it again.

        I tire of excuses from the Republican side about what we can do, or should do or why they disagree with President Obama on issues and why they won’t pass a bill worth the shit in Congress or trhe Senate. Sadly changes need to be made this election year, but the change is not to be in the presidency, it should be in the Republican controlled congress and they should be reduced back to the minority period. They are responsible for the log jams in Washington not anyone else, so when you vote in November, and all of us should ove r18 and legal, I say keep President Obama, trash some of the Republican Congress and lets break the blockade in Washington an dmove the country forward.

 

     

Compromise, A few understand!


Compromising is the act of meeting half-way to get a solution and to make something work out between two parties. It’s the act of giving instead of taking all, it’s the act of being fair, which few know how to do. Yet we all do it whether it is in romantic areas. marriage areas, work areas. But the political parties in this country refuse to do in office. Compromising folks, makes the world go round and avoids wars, and more, why can’t out Congress and Senate and President do it?

         Once you grow old enough to grow up you begin to understand that life is full of compromising facts. You compromise with your partners everyday, whether they be, the opposite sex or the same matters not, you still compromise to keep it going. Yet America now lies in an uncompromising position of not passing any laws, any cooperation or moving anything forward, because the two political parties have decided to fight like little children in a playground. Grow the hell up folks and let’s do something for the American People, The America we love and make it all a better place to be.

       The sad fact is every four years in America, we the people have to make a choice as to which party or person we want to lead us forward into the future, and hopefully, peace, prosperity and happiness, will come from it. But in 2012, we are going to need a Uniter not a Divider, we are going to need two political parties plus a third in the Tea Party to realize, they are tearing America down by fighting it out in Washington and stopping any progress period. Sad it is that it will take the American People to correct it in November 2012. We shall have to give ourselves a boost up and out of this mess by getting the majority of the Congress and Senate and the position of the Presidency once more in one party that will make changes as needed and keep Americans with the benefits we deserve and need.

       You want to learn compromising at it’s best get married and live with the same person for ten years or better, you will find yourself compromising at surprising moments in your life. Well, we need a Senate and Congress as well as a President who knows what it means to meet half-way, to give to get and make ends meet and work out. So in November don’t compromise the truth, give the job to one party and back the candidate for President you vote for with Senators and Congressmen who will work with him, not against us all, by not compromising. Make them understand in Washington, that the big salaries they get and benefits they get must be earned by them, make them compromise and make ends meet like all of us American Families do daily.

 

12 Things Presidential Candidates need to do!


The dog days of summer are coming and the heat will rise outside and the campaign for the Presidency will too. There will be mud-slinging and more before it is over come November 2012. The summer will bring debates on policy,economics.and healthcare. It will bring speeches on war, the military and more, but will the two candidates face the real issues as the American People see them, or run from them?

       The real issues for the 2012 Election will be the ones to watch for folks. Can either man come up with a good plan to save the Economy, jobs, HealthCare and Medicaid and Medicare as well as save Social Security? Can either one promise to save Veteran’s Benefits and take care of our veterans the way they should be cared for? Will either man be able to find a way to save the Postal Service that so many elderly and disabled depend on for medications and more? What will happen to America in the next four years whether it is under President Obama or Romney? Will America ever regain its credit rating, will America ever level the trade agreements and stop policing and fighting wars for others and take care of its own? These questions need to be put to the candidates and answered not bullshit questions so they can dodge the real issues.

       You show me one of the two who will save Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, stop policing other countries, and creat jobs and level the trade agreements maybe I will vote for them! You show me one candidate who is brave enough to admit they need to help the Postal Service, Trade, the economy and stop all wars and I may think about voting for them. You want the votes of middle america, lower america and the minorities then you need to address immigration, homeland security, and fixing the programs that help americans! Not run from them or avoid them, that isn’t the way to go!

       As the temperatures rise across America, and the summer begins,  we the American People must make a choice of which candidate to choose come November 2012 and I will only vote for the one I firmly believe can address the issues at stake as follows:

       1) The Economy and improving it by creating jobs, giving tax breaks to companies that need them.

       2) Who will address the trade markets and our trade agreements with China and others who now have the advantage over us and level it!

        3) Who will stop borrowing from Social Security and save it for the future.

         4) Who will preserve and protect Medicaid, Medicare, Healthcare and repair the Postal Service.

         5) Who will keep us out of  wars and bring out troops home for all time, and not get us involved again.

         6) Who will save the benefits and plans of the New Deal and make America a better country to live in.

           7) No new taxes period they aren’t needed, lets lower the pay/ salaries of Congress, both Houses, they don’t work they shouldn’t be paid!

           8) Bring back manufacturing, bring back being creative, innovative and inventing and let’s make America a forerunner for all.

          9) You want to be President again or anew, then you must face these issues, economy, jobs, manufacturing, trade agreements, refunding of social security, veteran’s benefits, healthcare,Medicaid, medicare and more. You can’t run and hide without addressing them each.

         10) Face the biggest issue of all for America, create jobs, create manufacturing, create peace and keep healthcare. Don’t destroy it improve it. We need help for the middle class, lower class, not more tax breaks for the rich and upper class. Lets level the playing field and do it correctly.

          11) There must be a way to make jobs for all, not just for some, to get the economy going give companies tax breaks in their home towns or cities across the nation. Lets do something for America and Americans instead of for the politicians and the rich.

          12) Final thing, if you want to be President and lead, then stand the hell up and lead, don’t cower, don’t bend, don’t be a wuss. But don’t police other nations with our troops, bring them home, no more wars!

Stand up this Fall


As many Americans go broke lose their homes, jobs, and more, the rich keep getting richer and the poor, poorer. Sad isn’t it, that no matter what, we can seem to even the playing field in America, especially on the money one.  While people struggle daily to survive others have so much they can blow millions at a clip, on elections and other things and not know the difference.

       Romney, Obama, Politicians on the top of the heap ruling countries and worlds of attention, rich now because of the luck they had with getting educated and being pushed into politics.

      Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now all rich because of skills and ideas and yes, not sharing enough. Although I will give it to Gates and his wife for helping across the globe, so I shouldn’t really include him here. But you can get the idea I am getting at, how many who have the bucks, fame and resources actually reach out and help Americans not other countries. very few indeed.

         Here is a little idea for the rich in America to consider, you didn’t get rich on your own, people helped form the economy and the country you are rich in. Give something back to the people who’s shoulders you stood upon to get to the top. The workers, the citizens who make america great the real great ones, the blue-collar workers. The ones that staff the, stores,offices and factories. The ones who gave their sweat and blood and time to keep America free, the veterans and disabled elders. The country as a whole needs help to climb out of this economic hole, built by former President Bush. It took Bush eight years to make the pit we are in and you want President Obama to get us out in four, your all sick to think anyone can do that.

       Then on top of demanding President Obama dig us out in four years, you give him a Congress loaded with the opposing parties people, and ask him to work with them and they refuse. If you want to know why the economy hasn’t come back look at a Republican filled Senate and House. While America hurts and struggles to save itself in the world economy and our debts grow deeper, they stalemate and block anything going thru that would help. This is a check and balance system in American Government and I agree with it to a point, but there is a time when bipartisan action must be accomplished and things must be done no matter whose name is on it.

        You want to cut something to help Americans out, cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives who did the log jamming in Washington, cut off all the wars we fight for reasons not our own, cut the supplying of trade agreements that help other countries and turn it around to help us. My parents once said it loud and clear for all to hear and our Government and elected officials now need to hear it too. Before you can reach out and help, protect and defend anyone else or anything else, take care of yourself and your own! It is time America stop policing the world, allowing other countries to shit on us in trade agreements and take care of our own here at home. Lets get Congress to help our homeless, our downtrodden, our hungry and poor and to stop beating on the middle class and help at home. Stand up this Fall, Vote out the blockade forces in Congress, give whomever you elect and I believe in Obama a Congress to back them and let’s get this country on its feet once more!.

Vote Democratic Across The Board!


      Americans need to unite and improve our own country and stop helping the world, we can’t afford it anymore. We lend hands to every country in the world we can that needs it, but when we hurt no one comes running with help or a hand-out, or for that matter a hand up!

       We race across the globe with our military- ,helping  Afganistan, keeping Iran under control, beating up on Iraq for having Saddam Huessin and taking him out, why?  The only country in the Middle East that would consider America a friend and help us at all is the Jewish State. The bottom line is not even England will do it anymore I believe or Canada to our north or Mexico to our south, not unless our continent is invaded or attacked straight up. Sad isn’t it?

       The strength we once had as a military might still exists, but the economic- might is gone, shot down by the failure of our politicians to control it all. The fight between the two parties is crazy and stupid period, we are destroying what we had and should have for the future by it all. A divided President and Congress is a formula for a dying economy, a dying job market, a lackluster trade balance and no forward motion period. Deadlocks are deadlocks folks, and we have it in our government due to our own stupidity.

       Only one side can run the country at a time, and if you want anything done, or saved from disappearing now is the time to realize this. If you want Social Security saved, Medicare and Medicaid saved, The Postal Service saved and maintained and Health Care kept in placed and improved now is the time to speak up at the polls in November.

        If you want job growth, manufacturing to grow, trade balance where we lead the way once more speak up now! If you want gasoline prices coming down, oil prices to lower and your money to last longer, then we need a leader in Washington, who has a congress on his side to do good things, not stop it all.

        Someone once asked me a question about political parties in America, meaning both Democrats and Republicans. The question was this, what is the difference between the two parties? One person replied one is Liberal and one is Conservative, I said nope, The second said one is pro-life the other isn’t again I said no. Finally they looked at me and asked one more time, What the hell is the difference between the two parties? I replied as follows, The Democrats will spend every cent the government has and finally stop, the Republicans will spend every cent we have but, borrow to keep spending more, putting us deeper in debt!

       Before you vote in November and decide which man and party should run America and it’s Government you need to stop and think! The Republicans had 8 years under George W. Bush to run this land and country, and dug us a hole so big in the budget department we can’t see anything except red. President Obama has tried for his first term in office to dig us out, but you don’t clear up 8 years of  overspending and  red books in four do you? It takes at least the 8 more years to do so and dig us all back out. So when you vote, stop and think which party was in office and allowed the 9/11 attacks to hit us, which party took us from the black to the red in budget books? Which party entered us into wars we didn’t want or need? Then stop and think which party is pulling us out and trying  to balance the budget again and get us going forward!  The Democrats and President Obama need four more years to correct the eight years of mistakes by the Republicans. We need a new beginning and a new way to go, not go back to what sunk us for eight years before. Vote Democrat, Reelect President Obama and give him a supportive cast in the Senate and The House and lets move America back to the forefront on all issues. If President William Jefferaon Clinton left Office with a surplus in the budget big time, and Presient Bush left with the biggest deficiet in recent history, then which party do you think will work to stop the bleeding and balance things? Think Democratic, think Reelect President Obama and lets give him a supporting cast in the Senate and House to get done what is needed.

 

2012 Election, Facts,/Needs/Ideas


     In what I have called the most boring Election so far, 2012’s is not moving any faster and neither candidate is really making headway against the other. If this keeps up, we may just choose a President and be done with it all in quiet fashion.

       You can run around pointing fingers at one another as these two men do, and telling tales about each other or you can begin to talk about the real issues Americans face! Let’s Get it on is what I say, lets see who has the solutions and ideas to move the country forward.

       I want to hear both candidates, incumbant and challenger, talk about 1) The Economy, 2) Creating Jobs,3) How to save Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare 4) Evening the trade agreements and making America have more exports than imports. 5) How to get us out of wars and keep us out period, we are not the world’s police force.6) Getting our money back from the companies and banks we bailed out. 7) Repairing the Blue Collar Job Market is key and vital to America’s economy, we need to get more factories going again.

          These are key issues that need discussed, extend unemployment benefits, save the Postal Service, keep it alive, while your at it too. Make a decision not to get involved in anyone elses wars anymore. We can’t fix Afghanistan, but we do kill off our service members trying don’t we, stop it now, pull the hell out. We had no business in Iraq, Iran is bullshiting us and we fall for it and get upset, isolate them and let them beg for mercy in the end, and their threat will go poof.  Homeland Protection is vital also, we all agree, we must keep America safe to stay free. Lets do it and do it right is all.

       In the end the 2012 Election this November, will determine 1) Who shall lead America away from these bad items and towards the good. 2) Who shall stop our decline in the world economy and put measures in place to prevent us from being dragged down too. 3) Who can straighten out and renegotiate all the trade agreements that are affects our imports being greater than our exports and turn it around. 4) Jobs are critical as is manufacturing, lets give them tax breaks and help to get going again in America and build more. 

       In the end the man who can solve all the above problems with ideas that work will win the election. I want both candidates to discuss these issues not who’s dog is on the roof of a car, or what they did in High School. Create jobs, help the manufacturing market grow, encourage, encourage this period. Save the Postal Service, leave the Veterans benefits alone, leave Social Security alone and find a way to continue to fund it, keep Health Care Reform and correct it, not destroy it.. Don’t take benefits from the elderly and poor to pay the rich, keep the programs in place damn it. 

      So many things a President can do  and be doing to improve the country has stopped being done, because the American people made a mistake in 2008. We picked the right President, but gave congress to his opposition, causing the log jams we now have in Washington. Sadly we American citizens are just as responsible for this mess as the politicians. If we want it cleaned up and the country moving forward and improving we need to stop the log jam and elect a President and Congress of one party and make them work to save all needing saving or fire them and get new ones. My opinion is now said and written I hope others agree!

 

Lets Fix America !


The political race is on for four years in the White House, the battle is now engaged by both sides and about to step up and hit with force, in the American People’s faces. While President Obama and Romney will be going head to head, please stop and look at both of their views on certain issues: 1) Wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, they need to be stopped and what is ours in forces and weapons need to come home. 2) Watch for who will save Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Benefits, these programs are the ones keeping many helpless, homeless and needy people alive and giving them a chance to. 3) Health Care– who has the better plan 4)  immigration Who will toughen the laws, but allow those here to stay in someway 5) Jobs, Who can really create jobs and bring back manufacturing and make our economy go forward 6) Who will change the Trade Agreements to a point where they favor America’s needs and our exports once more out shine and out measure our imports once more on the world market. 7) Who will step in and save the Postal Service that is needed by many millions across the USA to deliver our medications and things we depend on daily to survive. 8 ) Who has the better leadership skills period and will stand up for all Americans not just the rich or poor but all. 9) Who can reformat, reinvent the tax codes in the US to fit the current population and make it work, without raising them on the poor and middle class. We have no more to give Uncle Sam is bleeding out the poor and middle class to save the rich, wrong! 10) We saved big business and Wall Street and companies, now collect back what we loaned them as a country and lets use it for good works not bad.

       We also need to elect a congress that will support which ever man we elect as President. You can’t give the throne to one man and then put his opposition into check and balance him and expect him to be able to accomplish much, it’s like blockading a country, you can’t work around it well.

       As a country we screwed up by electing a Democrat as President and a congress full of Republicans to checkmate him. What we got was a blockade that stopped anything real from being accomplished and it is the American people’s fault now. Lets clean it up and make whoever is in the White House have a supporting cast to accomplish what needs to be done.
