Politics 2008
I can’t believe it has been two years since we really found much to say about politics. Of course, we don’t want to offend any party since I’m sure our site visitors are from both Democrat, Independent and Republican parties. That’s why we’ve taken the approach that we should work on positive solutions that appeal to all Americans.
We all want border safety, a good economy, lower energy prices, realistic immigration policies, an end to war, terrorism, racism, child abuse etc. and the list goes on and on. The few that don’t want these things are outside the norm. The main difference in the parties is how we get there but we all want to get there.
We believe American Solutions is the greatest thing to hit the internet in our political memory. A cross section of people from all parties working towards common goals is the only way to help put an end to Washington Gridlock. Neither McCain, Obama or any of the third party candidates are capable of doing this. All great movements have been “grass roots” movements. The people must rise up and protest to their elected representatives or vote them out of office the next time they can. Presidents do not make laws, the Legislature does. Yes, the Supreme Court has been over stepping its boundaries in this arena. A new law that would limit the terms of Supreme Court judges is in order!
The Legislature seldom listens to their constituents. The only way to get things done is to first voice your opinions loudly and then vote them out when they don’t listen.
The other thing most of us agree on is raising taxes is not the way to go. If you won a million dollars and you were going to give 100,000 dollars to charity would you give it to the US government? Why not? Most of us instinctively know the government will waste the money, that is what they do best. There is a complete lack of responsibility when it comes to spending our money by the Legislature. If our government spent the tax revenue as wisely as the average American home, there would be a surplus in tax monies collected. There is no need to raise taxes. There is a need to spend it with more wisdom. All American’s could be covered by health care, our military could go forward as the premier fighting force and the other issues like National debt would dissolve away.
To bottom line it we don’t think any candidate is going to make a difference. Some want to raise taxes and speak eloquently. Others don’t have great presence but will be a bit better about spending limits. Neither one really has the power to make sweeping changes that only Congress can achieve. No wonder Congress has a lower approval rating than the current President!
So, what is the answer? The answer is us (US). We must start pressuring politicians to make a difference or lose their job regardless of party affiliation. If you took 60 seconds to read this please take 60 seconds to sign the petition and ask your friends to do the same.
