IMAGINE

Hi to all,

John Lennon wrote a song entitled, "IMAGINE". I'm sure that all of you who remember this song as I do, love the meaning and the message behind it.

Just IMAGINE, an America that is ONE, an AMERICA that cares about its citizens, an AMERICA that shuns those who would leave US stranded for the sake of the almighty dollar.

WHAT A DREAMER I AM......America is no longer the land of opportunity, America is the land of whomever has the most financial stability to elect officials who will do NOTHING for AMERICA, but EVERYTHING for those who funded their campaigns.

I am a registered Democrat....however, whether one is Democratic or Republican....I would rather wipe the slate clean and denounce my affiliation to any party this country has to offer, because what we are offering is nothing more than sour grapes and rotten tomatoes in our political preferences.

I am a PATRIOT,  a person who believes in the values set forth by the founders of this nation. We were founded upon the beliefs and principals that we are all created as ONE nation under GOD, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL.

I ask you, where is there justice in allowing American citizens to become homeless? Where is there liberty in allowing BIG BUSINESS to dictate the outcome of a national election?

What has happened to this country? Are we all pathetic sheep, following the herd?

When you are home this evening, having eaten your dinner, taken your shower, sitting back and relaxing, watching your favorite television programs, think about those human beings out there, struggling to make ends meet. Think about those who no longer have a home and pray that the local restaurants have scrapped in their dumpsters, enough food to feed themselves and their homeless families.

WASHINGTON does not care about them, in fact, homeless people are nothing more than a MENACE to society....most of them don't vote, so why do we need them.....how pathetic......how sad that humans in need of help are treated like useless animals.

What is it going to take for ALL of us to wake up and demand an end to our GREAT COUNTRY being controlled by the pharmaceutical, tobacco and any other large industries?

REMEMBER THIS EVERYONE, "YES WE CAN". HOW PHONY, HOW PATRONIZING, HOW UNTRUE.....No we cannot continue to allow Washington and its so called specialists  rule us in the manner in which they choose. We need to stop the games, end the lies, fight for America, in America, not overseas, but in AMERICA.

Medicare is on the verge of elimination. Home ownership is in jeopardy. Social Security (remember that???) is on the verge of extinction, yet we keep being lured into believing that "YES WE CAN" do what is necessary to make this country rich and prosperous again.

We were all hipnotized into believing that this current administration could save this country, but how foolish we all were. The leaders of our country once again, JUST DON'T GET IT!!!

If making a trip to Finland in order to bring financial gain to his home state is our leader's top priority, then I am discouraged at where Washington's priorities stand.

FACE IT EVERYONE, MORE AND MORE AMERICANS ARE BECOMING HOMELESS.  Does Washington care? Absolutely NOT!!!!!!! 

We need to rise up everyone and send a message to all those we were led to believe would make a positive impact on us all. Get them all out of office, first by rebelling against the special interest groups controlling these puppets.

Perhaps, by then, we will have officials in our national, state and local governments serve us all for the better interest of a true cause, the cause of the American people and not that of Pfiezzer, Libby, Philip Morris, etc.

Thank you all and please, please post your comments. The games need to stop and we, together, need to take our country and its values back.
