Just Saying

I have been silent. Taking in that which surrounds my thoughts and fears, hopes and dreams. Then reality sets in.

A great man once said,"I know a way out of Hell".

I dream of an America where everyone, that is able. Takes seriously his or her responsibility to vote. Not their party or how people in a commercial tell you to but your concise. It is your right and privilege. Do Not treat this Liberty lightly.

I dream of an America, that has one hundred percent literacy. Everyone can teach a child to read, a parent, friend, neighbor, sibling, etc. etc. etc.. Being able to read was at one time honorable and rarer than you may think. Not everyone knew how. Seems history is repeating itself.

I dream of an America, where people line up to defend her. I am of a mind that a minimal two year commitment to our armed forces should be mandatory. For all rich and poor, no wavers, man and women. Before college.
Our Men and Women that serve today, are in dyer need to teach the next generation coming in. We need not a conflict or war to keep our due diligence 1000 percent.
We all know what the unemployment and college numbers are today for our young Men and Women, so start them off in the right direction.

I dream of an America that utilizes its aging plumbers,carpenters,electricians,etc. to field classes teaching those that can not serve, have served, are not college bound after service. That is the real way to fix our infrastructure problem in this country.

I dream of an America, that does not allow professional politicians. Limiting terms of all positions great and small. Most of our greatest statesmen and women climb to their pinnacle and return having served, a better civilian servant for their constituents after their time in office.

I dream of an America, that utilizes its large number of non-violent offenders serving time to other duties, such as military enlistment, re- educated skilled laborer, etc.
Break the cycle. Teach the people and things will change. It will work ground up.

I dream of an America. Thats has adopted the right laws to clean up the environment. Why doesn't every state recycle mandatory, look at Washington and Oregon state.

I dream of an America that opens its doors to all. As long as you do it the correct way, your welcome. Come, work, enjoy be fruitful. Stay become a citizen. Or go home. Simple

I dream of an America, where not only children can sleep with full bellies at night but not fear the adults that are supposed to be supervising and protecting them.
In the same dream I dream that homelessness has been eradicated. Its not a business it a sadness.

I dream of an America. That my Grandfather and his brothers envisioned like so many immigrants coming into Ellis Island. A new hope. Willing to work and fight for the chance. Nothing for free, except for the opportunity.

I dream of an America. Where we are American, not European-American, Afro-American,Asian-American, this-American, that-American, JUST AMERICAN. Heritage is great, but we will get further if we start realizing that we are all in the same pot.

I dream of an America. That has a fair tax system, not the British empowered system that we seemingly broke away from. True we are capitalist but please.
Have you ever wondered who controls the three companies that control your credit rating. Who are they, how did they come to be. Who do they really work for. Why can't you do the right thing and just start over.

I dream of an American Society thats stands up and does the right thing. Not the left or the right. Dems or Reps. But Americans all of us, 350 million plus strong. Stand up and tell those in charge that your tired. I want it the way it was promised. NOW.

There are a million things I dream of America to be. I will take America the way it is and I will do my little piece to change at least what I can do. We should be living the Science Fiction future our parents read about in the fifties, instead well I need not tell you.

I Love My country, from sea to shining sea. I don't think the elite in D.C or in the fifty capitols understand anything but their own world.
