It’s election day… get out and
vote. We may not agree on the issues and
some of the candidates, but… get out and vote.

I
feel that the direction we are headed is the better way to go. Based on where we started at 4 years ago we
have come a very long way, and we’re headed in the right direction, in my
opinion.
I
feel that if I had to count on someone to be on the side of the “man (or woman)
on the street” and if I wanted someone who could identify more with people than
with corporations, I firmly believe that Barack Obama is that person. I don’t share the same skin color with the
President, but I share many of the same values; that people should be given a
fair shot to make it, that rules and taxes should apply equally to everyone,
that women deserve to control their own healthcare and that they deserve equal
pay for equal work, and... that government was created to provide for the
common good. - - - Government shouldn’t be big and unwieldy and
unresponsive and impersonal, it should be just the opposite. It’s our job to make sure that it’s there
when we need it, AND... that it’s not in
our way when we don’t.
Finally, Medicare
and Social Security are important issues and they deserve solutions that keep
them solvent far into the future. They
affect you, your children, your parents and your grandparents. Putting both of these earned benefit
institutions into the private market is not a good move, it’s just asking for
trouble, more trouble than they currently are in. Vouchers and Wall Street are not good
“people” solutions, they are temporarily good, and only temporarily good for
the private market. Let’s find a better
solution that will guarantee that both programs survive and thrive long into
the future.
