American Spearit
Are you mad enough yet? Health care, financial meltdown and big bonuses, energy policy, never ending wars, crumbling infrastructure, education, religious fundamentalists, taxes and the rich, discrepancy between rich and poor, lack of inspiring direction, Tea partiers, Sarah Palin as possible President, a Congress that is totally dysfunctional, Republicans who are against everything except helping big business and making people think they are for the forgotten white folks, the environment, the list is pretty long isn't it? And I could easily make it longer.
I have been playing around with politics for a very long time, and this site, off and on, for a couple of years. I know local politics, I know how to organize and get people motivated to accomplish goals. I understand many national and international issues, not as well as some, but far, far better than most. I am not part of the paranoid and greed contingent. I think it is about time to do something more. It is time to use my skills and knowledge and talents to deliver solutions. Perhaps it is a bit Quixotic, but better try than do nothing.
So I am challenging myself to begin something that will bring people together that will solve problems and move our country forward, to celebrate innovation and accomplishment, to deliver solutions to the problems that confront us, to be more than a politician and more than a businessman, but somehow meld the two to drive the real Americans who embody the American Spearit to take back America from Idiot Garbage. I must begin.
