To my fellow business owners, mothers, fathers, children, friends:This year's Presidential Election is of utmost importance to all of us, whether we are the monetary challenged working class like the majority of us or the money endowed few who are watching their money disappear at a greater rate than they thought possible.We all have watched our economy deteriorate over the past 8 years due to a government more concern with the well-being of foreign countries than their own. I remember an old saying, "Take Care of your own Home Before Trying to Take Care of Others" America have been so busy spending billions everywhere else but here at home and look what we now have to show for it.*** We NOW have a 50 year high debt of 10 Trillion Dollars (http://zfacts.com/p/461.html)This site also pointed out additional missteps taken by the Bush's Administration which were:Bush did three things to skyrocket the debt from $5.7 trillion to $10 trillion:1. He lowered taxes on the rich (by far the biggest item).2. He invade Iraq instead of winning in Afghan-Pakistan (another $600 B).3. He did not regulate an out-of-control Wall Street.Now, because of this reckless behavior, we the American taxpayers has to bear the burden and bailout the greedy corporate heads who are living the high life with numerous homes, millions of dollars in retirement funds, while the majority of us are struggling to put food on the table for our families.America is supposed to be the most powerful and looked up to country in the world yet, our children can't get loans for a college education, millions of Americans do not have health care, our education system is sub-standard compared to many third world countries and our military force is stretched so thin protecting other countries, while leaving our borders susceptible to attacks and an influx of people into our country who seek to destroy the principles and foundation this country was built on.So, you might say what can we do as citizens of a country on the brink of failure.FIRST; WE MUST VOTE IN THIS UPCOMING ELECTION IN LARGE NUMBERS!!!SECOND; WE MUST BE MORE INVOLVED WITH THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND DEMAND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS KEEP THEIR PROMISES TO US!!!THIRD; LET'S DEMAND THAT THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA INTEREST BE PLACED ON THE FRONT BURNER!!!Politicians will listen to a voting population much more than a population who throws their arms up in defeat and accept the status quo and decide that voting isn't for them.By voting in large numbers we will show the government that we are no longer willing to sit idly by, having our own vital needs ignored, while they choose to financially take care of others who are in a better financial position than we are and in the process bankrupt us!!!Remember voting is no longer a choice it is must and an obligation to yourself and the unborn!!!For those not register to vote go to: www.maps.google.com/vote and sign up today.....Please do it for the road to America's recoveryArlenewww.arlenesunlimitedservices.com
