My Story: Our Constitution, legislative and executive branches of government have been high-jacked and corrupted by lobbyists with the use of high powered corporate money and a biased bought media. It's going to get ugly, it already has. I'm here to speak for the less fortunate: our troops, children of poverty and global issues. I care about things that have no voice in matters. J FYI: discrimination happens to more classes than just blacks (Whites, Hispanics, Asians, Indians and Gays suffer this too). None of us are exempt from being humans or having human errors perpetrated against us, so it's not always about skin color as they paint to grab attention. Getting a loan, or not getting a loan, attending college or not attending college have nothing to do with color. People aren't looking at applications and "seeing" color. Vulnerable classes deserve our attention now, and one such class is: our troops. They should be removed from being forced to police sectarian violence, they're caught in political debate and not being used as a military strategy. Just because our "decider" muffed it up, doesn't give him license to continue moving in that path, or start beating more war drums. 4 months from voting, he'll stir the pot with Iran in an effort to save the GOP and gain votes for McCain, it's so predictable. FEAR MONGERING. I'm frustrated like the rest of you, but we need to build momentum and keep our WILL strong, HEALTHY DEBATES encouraged. We DID get hung-up over race, subject to perceptions - thanks BO. Our troops are over burdened, yet somehow they still fight-off being tired, hungry, hatred, missing their families, tears and death. We must fight hard for them, it's the least I can do. I've got my boxing gloves on. Then comes another precious resource, our human children and planet. Many have come into this world to suffer poverty and lack of education. In this day and age, we should not be seeing: anorexic limbs, swollen tummy's, bulging eyes and facial features of lifeless children. This is disgraceful to mankind, and disgrace what we do to Earth. I'm ashamed of us. We need resource management and protection our valuables (borders, warriors, children, water) on a global scale. We must find leaders that will honestly tackle true battles to protect our resources and principles. Industry has a stronghold on the way our republic manages our resources and our votes, they control who goes into the White House and take seats. YOU need to stop them. Vote a democrat to fight for values, children that suffer, troops and planetary issues. Let's have a healthy debate, that means putting on your boxing gloves. Ready? I am, I'm hopeful. PEACE, give it a try. It's a gift to everyone, not just one class. Say what you mean, mean what you say, don't say it mean, or I'll mock you.
