Knowledge is power. Yet the major party candidates give you no real knowledge as to why we have our problems. The media is just as bad as the candidates, extolling their virtues and vices (of course giving maximum coverage to the Hili-bama show) and never asking why health care is in the shape it is. Never asking why we have an energy problem, and never asking how the sub-prime mortgage fiasco came to be. The truth is, that our problems are the results of the actions of Congress. The same Congress that the candidates have been a part of. How are they going to make good on any of the promises they make when they don't have the knowledge they were a part of making the problem? Change Before
the Election!
I realize that anyone elected as
president will have to convince Congress that their policys are sound
before anything can be done. I also have a realization that an
Independent president may create "Tri-partisan" politics, especially
with so many Congressmen/women who have been in office several terms
(or decades.) With that in mind, there are no valid promises I can make
other than to begin change before I am elected.As the saying goes, feces run downhill. Our troubles in this country begin at the top, and run down to us. There are many reasons for it, but the biggest is that after a period of time, members of Congress totally lose a feel for their constituients and get caught up in the power game of being re-elected. There is a way for us, "we the people" to set term limits on Congress. Our Constitution provides several ways of making amendments. The one which has never been used is a Constitutional Convention called for by the people. It is time to do so. By not helping in the change, you are a part of the problem. If you would like to be a part of the solution, visit my Constitutional Convention page and join in on our forum. Read my views, and check out the Constitutional changes that we can make. If you agree, do something about it. Work to make the Constitutional Amendments happen. Work to get the energy solution on the ballot in your states and to get me on the ballot in your state. If you don't work to make changes happen, if you allow one of the major party candidates to be elected uncontested, you have no room to complain. |
