There is only one person that can fix this mess. [View All]

It is not Barack Obama.

It is not John Boehner.

It is not the Tea Party.

It is not the present Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

It is YOU.

It is US.

We have stood on the sideline for years discussing what these folks are doing to our country. Well, they have finally done it.

We have to decide what needs to be done and we need to take action. We don't need to wait on the politicians in Washington. They are failures. They have no idea what needs to be done.

We know what needs to be done but nobody listens - not even our own Party.

We need to stop this so-called "global economy" from robbing us of our jobs.

We need to dismantle the hegemonic military industry that is robbing us blind.

We need to raise taxes on the wealthy and create a more progressive tax system in this country.

We need to stop the insurance and medical industries from making such obscene profits off sickness.

We need to rebuild our infrastructure to compete with the rest of the world.

We need to create government jobs because the private sector refuses to do so.

The only thing we have that they care about is our VOTE. We need to value our vote much more than we have in the past. It should not be automatic, no matter what dire consequences may befall us, according to those that want our vote. It is all we have.

We need to use our vote to change politics in this country. We cannot continue to be cowards that fall prey to political propaganda. Politicians in Washington need to understand that we are as serious as a heart attack.

But, isn't that what the Tea Party did? Yes, but their goals were negative and they did more harm to our country than good. However, their strategy was correct. Their goals were tragically wrong.

If you don't have the courage to do it, no one else will. We are doomed to failure and years of very difficult times. It is up to you and I. No one else can do it.
