The America I knew

      America The free and home of the brave. A country of opportunity. With hard work you can do anything. This is the America you and I knew growing up. As a child I was taught the benefits of hard work and dedication at a very young age. My elders would tell me time after time that if I didn't work I wouldn't and couldn't have anything. As I looked around I could see that what they were telling me was true. The people I knew in life who worked hard with dedication had something to show for it, and the ones who did not had nothing.
      This was the American Dream. Today, you have higher unemployment rates than ever, poverty is at its highest, the nations debt has hit 15.7 Trillion Dollars; And the government we once trusted to help us when we needed them has chose their views over their boss, the American People. The government has built their power to a point where the people has lost their say, where we the people no longer matter. Our own President and his Administration have the power to pass laws the people don't want. This is not the America our fathers created.
       America is hurt. We are straining to take care of our families, to pay our bills. Some of us have lost hope. I, myself, have not lost hope. I believe America isn't dead. We just need the right doctor. Obama has made it clear he has no real plans to help this country. I say lets not be unheard, lets not let them use the power that they do not possess. Speak loud, show you haven't lost faith in our country. Lets Take Back America

  1. So well said and I fully agree! We CAN take back America, and with the right people in the White House, Congress, and Senate, we can get this country back on the right track. You are right "We the People" do not matter anymore, but we can change that!!
