U.S.A. : A status report

One of our nation's leaders recently said:

“Our nation is in trouble on two fronts. The American dream is under siege at home, and America’s leadership in the world has been weakened. Middle-class and low-income Americans are hurting — with incomes declining; job losses, poverty and inequality rising; mortgage foreclosures and credit card debt increasing; health care coverage disappearing; and a very big spike in the cost of food, utilities and gasoline.

“And our position in the world has been weakened by too much unilateralism and too little cooperation, by a perilous dependence on imported oil, by a refusal to lead on global warming, by a growing indebtedness and a dependence on foreign lenders, by a severely burdened military, by a backsliding on global nonproliferation and arms control agreements, and by a failure to consistently use the power of diplomacy, from the Middle East to Africa to Latin America to Central and Eastern Europe.”

To me it sounds like a pretty accurate (grim) summary of our situation.

Let's not allow ourselves to be distracted
by gender, race, religion, political party, and the myriad of other distractions being trumpeted by the media. Our country needs to return to it's roots. You and I are the only ones who can make that happen. Think, Vote, and Be Heard.
