How Difficult Can It Be?

In the United States of America, the majority of us that vote have a common goal, in that we want to feel safe. To feel safe we need a source of income so we can provide for our needs and the needs of our dependants and acquire some of our wants. We also need supplemental resources, some insurance if you will, that can provide for what we can not buy for ourselves. We need some assurance that there will be a consistent future so that we can leave to our children and grand children a world that they will feel safe in and prosper.

Who can we trust to look out for our future, our safety? Who can we trust to look out for the future of our country? Who will represent us as we work?

The founding fathers were smart enough to outline the protection of our freedoms and rights in the constitution. They understood the fear of a power greater than themselves, a power that did not have their best interests at heart. They fought and died to make our constitution the basis that is the foundation of a country where all of the citizens can live in relative peace and the world can feel comfortable with us as a neighbor.

They understood that the constitution was written by men in a time that had its own challenges and that this wonderful document was not expected to be perfect for all time. It can and should change over time but anyone who wanted to change it should be looked upon with suspicion, especially if they were attempting to limit rights and/or freedoms by changing the constitution as apposed to change that would further protect our rights and freedoms.

So how difficult can it be to find people we can trust to represent us in our search for a good nights sleep? There must be people out there, in the service our country, that we can elect to protect the constitution and the protection our freedoms, which are found within it.

So our chore is to recognize these people. I think the people we are looking for would be ones that are trying to help us feel safe not people that say ‘Be afraid, be very afraid!’ The people we can trust are attempting to secure good jobs for us, jobs that have good benefits and a future in the 21st century. We need jobs that help us to provide for our needs not jobs that fulfill our wildest dreams and wants. We need jobs that repair and extend our infrastructure. We need jobs that clean up our environment and make our world a safer place within which to live.

We do need military protection but we do not need to fight all of the world’s injustices. We do need to share our knowledge but we do not need to maintain the infrastructure of the world beyond our borders. We do need to be part of the world’s might but we do not need to be the world’s police force.

We need to be the best example of what a country can be, a country where people, all of the people, feel safe and supported. We need to be the country where injustice is not tolerated. We need to be the best example of what is possible.

As you find people who understand this, vote for them and we will all feel safer. It’s not that difficult.

And if you want to be elected speak to us about how you will help us provide for our needs. We, the working people of this country, are the majority. Speak to us honestly and openly and we will choose safety and through hard work. Speak to us about homes, health care, training/education, retirement, the defense and general well being of our country. But most of all speak to us about jobs, 21st century jobs.
