We have (yes, I'm using the current tense "have", not the past tense "had", for a reason) an opportunity in 2008 for REAL CHANGE in America. We have an opportunity in front of us that hasn't arisen in at least two generations but I think it's much longer than that. WE - The people of AMERICA, have an opportunity to set our country straight.
We have an opportunity, right now, to stop the corruption that has a stranglehold on our political process at all levels of government. When I talk about corruption, I am (of course) speaking of the money that flows from special interest coffers into the pockets of our elected officials.
We have an opportunity, right now, to put a stop to the perpetual war machine that propagates fear and leaves the blood of innocent people in nations on almost every continent, letting into the ground. From Iraq to Columbia to Afghanistan to virtually every nation on the planet - we have embedded our money and our soldiers and the future of our nation. And we have an opportunity to put an end to it before the nation can no longer sustain the burden of our overseas trespasses.
We have an opportunity, right now, to put into place a REAL economic plan that will stimulate the economy beyond the wildest dreams of any tax cutter in Washington. It's not a plan to simply give Americans a few hundred dollars to go blow at the movies but a plan to restore the economic viability of the United States.
We have an opportunity, RIGHT NOW, to restore the rule of law and have the constitution followed, as it should be and in the process, restore not only the freedoms that have been lost to an overbearing, overweight, out of touch federal government but we also get to restore the faith of the rest of the world in the United States of America!
We have an opportunity, RIGHT NOW, to see the hopes and dreams of tens of millions of Americans restored by giving back to them the hard earned money that the government siphons from their checks every time they get paid. We have an opportunity to give the elderly REAL hope in the Social Security System and the young an opportunity to find their own way towards retirement. We have an opportunity to free up a trillion dollars a year to be re-invested in the United States of America!
All of these things can be accomplished. We can be free and prosperous - without the fear that a government agency (The IRS) can drop down on us like an anvil at any moment and conceivably destroy our personal lives because we may have screwed up line 60 part E on one of our tax forms. We can be free of the fear of government intervention in our lives - from wiretapping to data mining and more.
The Republican Party has an opportunity, RIGHT NOW, to restore faith to it's party and in the process, bring hundreds of thousands of young people into the fold and KEEP them there for future elections. The Republican Party has an opportunity to restore it's core beliefs and return to the values of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. We CAN lessen the tax burden on Americans AND have a strong defense!
ALL OF THIS and more is possible IF - and I know it's a big IF
IF the Republican party and the MSM will allow the American people to hear ALL of the candidates and allow them to make up their own mind.
I am ashamed that my fellow citizens would use the machinery of the press to silence the only true fiscal conservative who has an actual plan to save America from it's own excesses. While I am an atheist, I feel it is appropriate to say that I hope that whatever god you pray to will forgive you for your trespasses against your fellow citizens and against the citizens of the world.
