If you really CARE about your children do this!

I have been writing this blog for a few weeks now and I have to be honest, as much success as I have had so far, it pales to where I want this to be. First off, this is not so much for me personally, although I certainly enjoy writing this and will continue to do so, as it is for all of you that read it. Right now there is a concerted assault on the American citizens and it is being done by the people we hire to serve us. The governors in several states, including Florida, are balancing budgets by portraying our state workers as lazy, money grabbing oafs. They want us to believe that the teachers who each and every day help our most valuable resource, our children, are unworthy of making a living wage. The police, firemen and all state and local workers are living extravagant lifestyles and are looking to retire with unsupported pensions. This is nothing more then a clear attack on the very people that sacrifice to help us each and every day. These are our neighbors, our friends and yet we are doing nothing to support them. I am also on Facebook, but that is not how I spend countless hours talking about nothing. Facebook and the social value it has is fine. Spending some time each day to reach out to our friends is fine. However we also have a moral obligation to use this network to educate ourselves and to change our lives and the people around us that we love so much. I am not only challenging everyone of my friend to read this and act, but to also pass this on down their friend list to get them involved. We must start first by contacting our representatives and letting them know that instead of starting the budget cuts at us and our neighbors, we need to start and demand that they start to have the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. Most corporations pay little to no taxes. They get subsidies and credits,(corporate welfare) to reduce or eliminate their taxes. Why not start there. The felon that we elected as governor in Florida whats to cut corporate taxes while he stands there and cuts pay and benefits for state workers. He turns down billions of dollars to build high speed rail, and thus turn away from the hundreds of thousands of jobs, but states that we need to cut corporate taxes to create jobs. Pure and simple BS. Right now companies are sitting on trillions of dollars in cash and not creating jobs. They will just sit on the additional money and pay themselves hugh bonuses. We must start now! Start with letter and E-mails. Let them know that their jobs are in danger. If this does not change their minds we need to then look at civil disobedience. We have to stop the assault on middle America. It is up to all of you. Your children, the children of the country, the teachers, the firemen, the policemen and each and everyone of us need to stand now. If you sit in silence we will all lose. If you do not act we will never affect change. If you do not act we all fail. If you do not act we cease to exist. They are taking everything they can and if you do not act they will take it all. Lastly if you do not know how to get in touch with your state and federal representatives let me know. I will help you. WE MUST ACT NOW!  United is our strength.  

President Obama is a citizen, it is time for the adults to come forward.

Think about this for a minute. On August 4, 1961 a man and a woman had a son. They knew some day he would want to run for President of the United States. Since he was born in Kenya they had to sneak him into the country. Hawaii was the logical place because they could pay off two independent newspaper editors to list him in their birth announcements. They smuggled him past immigration authorities. They get the state officials in Hawaii to make a fake certificate of birth. All of this because they knew 40 years later he would need this information to become president. Oh, yeah did I mention that he is half black. They still knew that Americans would elect him. This past week Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, both were asked directly about the ridiculous beliefs of many Republicans that the President was not born here. Instead of coming out directly and saying not only is he an American, anyone who believes any other way is a complete idiot. While serious people try to work on solving the problems in our country I still hear all of the childish,  idiotic garbage that is out there about our leader. The problem with too many people is they do not believe in our democracy. They believe that if you didn't vote for someone and don't agree with someone, then they are not legitimate leaders of our country. The election is over. Our president is Barack Obama. People need to grow up and realize that all of the stupidity, and what they think, are funny remarks is counterproductive to moving us forward. We debate the election and policies, then we vote and finally we do something constructive. The, so called adults, who only want to tear down and feed into rumors are one of the greatest threats to America. So my final word to all of the kids out there, that want to take their ball and go home, is start setting an example for the real children in this country and show them how adults move forward. In other words, grow up and stop you whining.
