A united democratic party

| Also listed in: Jefferson County Missouri Democrats |
Having been born on the 4th of July, I have taken the declaration of Independence to heart. I believe that our current government under the Bush administration, has acted in blatant disregard for that declaration that shaped the very fabric of our nation. We, as a nation, have also failed to reign in our government and take theses members to task for their flagrant crimes against our people.
For example, we separated ourselves from the King of Britain for many actions which we saw to be against our constitution and our core beliefs as Americans. If you were to read through those paragraphs which list the crimes of the King against our people, you could very easily substitute President Bush's name, for King George. Isn't it ironic that King George was the enemy of our states, and now all these many years later, our own king George is repeating history, and yet we have allowed his crimes to go unpunished and have not fought with every weapon at our disposal, provided by the constitution to end his tyranny and oppression. We have suffered under his rule and have not answered the call of our independence, to alter or abolish, and throw off any government with repeated injuries and usurptions and form a new government with a new government which is most likely to effect our safety and happiness.

As democrats, we are bound by the ideals that we can promote democracy in these United States of America.
It is with all of that in mind that I emplore my fellow democrats to stand up for this nation, and search within your hearts to see our future and our dreams as a united country, as people who believe in democracy and the God given rights of all our people to voice their beliefs and use the power that we are all endowed with, by our forefathers, to fight for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It is my opinion that Senator Hillary Clinton has many of the same ideals that I find important to get this country and its government going in the right direction. She voices solutions to many of our core problems and issues that are currently facing this country. I do not hear Senator Obama offering any solutions. This party has run on the change campaign for as long as I can remember. Of course we need a change, but how would he change it? I haven't heard his answers to those questions and I believe that is due to the fact that he is "all ears" and is depending on the more experienced people in the chamber and house to give him solutions. Rather, Senator Clinton is one of those members, who has stated her ideas for solutions to our most important issues of health care, education, national security, economy, and global ecology.
I am ashamed to admit that for one time in my life, as I near a presidential election and decision which I do not make lightly, I have contemplated not casting a vote in this November's presidential election.
I cannot support a man who offers me no answers to my questions, who runs his campaign on his African-American heritage in order to gain popularity in the African-American nation. He does not run his campaign on his Caucasian American heritage, which he is equally entitled to. His mother was white and he was raised in a Caucasian household in a mid-western culture. He spent much of his youth with his Caucasian grandparents. When he speaks of growing up in the midwest, he never mentions that it was with his white mother, and white grandparents. I believe that in this absentia, he is acting in a racial manner to attract fellow African Americans. Of course, it is working for him thusfar, but I cannot understand why he hasn't embraced the fact that he is 50% white and 50% black. It is simple genetics and the good senator from Illinois is neglecting to acknowledge these facts. This troubles me. When a man can use his "color" to be elected to the highest power in this nation, not his ideals, I cannot support him. While he claims to be idealistic, he offers me no solutions to the questions that I am asking.
I cannot vote for John Mc Cain, simply because I don't believe that he is speaking his own mind, and is seemingly playing politics. While I would agree that Mrs. Clinton is now playing politics, I also remember what principles she has been standing for historically, and I believe that she wants to make the changes that are necessary in this country, not for her own self-interests, but for the people. Just as our forefathers wrote in our declaration.
On the Obama vs Mc Cain ballot, I will not vote. My conscience will not allow me to.
Sincerely,

I too am not voting for Obama and have been saying it for quite a while now. In fact I am willing to say that I was among the few that early on took that stance. Are we undemocratic? We don't think so! And that is our right not the DNC's or the Obama camps decision to make. We will write in Clinton whether it counts or not.
Today a qustion was asked of Obamas wife what see thought of a Clinton VP position. Supposedly she said no way jose! That was on the news and disavowed by the Obama campaign but where theres smoke (you know the rest)! Do I doubt it! Absolutely not!
She has let her attitudes show from the beginning and that plus his association, an non-associations, failure to publicly display his, or their, patriotism make him totally untrustworth to us. So no to Obama is our right and we will exercise that right no matter what people say!
if you can live with your decision to not vote - than more power to you.
it's your choice.
if you are gonna talk the talk, then walk the walk.
