As I look around me I become more disillusioned… there are two things that pop up in my head, and fear the most- that is - Healthcare and the Homeless.
We know we can’t get blood out of a stone and we are so sure, we cannot milk a bull!
But what can we do for America a country that I have been aware of since I was a child a country that always stood out to the outsiders?
I remember when president Kennedy died, you may say who doesn’t- I was only seven years old and on the other side of the world. I knew about president Kennedy from my grandmother, (at the time I was in Italy).
I remember president Kennedy being assassinated. I haven’t been long in the US I’m a resident not a Citizen and I have so much concerns… but do I have a right to exclaim those concerns? Do I have the right to be angry, when I’ve only been here a short time? Can I make a difference? You see I’m a caring person and I care for the people I would love to make a difference on a positive note, my husband was born in California he is an American he can vote, I cant, and what disappoints me is how many people discard it.
All I hear from people is my vote wont make a difference, if you add up all the negatives and put them to good use you can turn it into a great positive and voice yourself with a vote they don’t realize how quickly all those negative people add up - and how they can change the course. Everyday on the news we are given daily reports on our candidates I feel this has been bestowed on me to be a part of it and I really want to contribute in any way possible I Want to open peoples minds- give it a try an hour of you life could change the course of a great nation.
And as for the homeless, they don’t want to be there –I’m so sure that once they were like you and I a lovely home a family a job and security but when you lose a job and get into debt you can lose your dignity and go down hill and you can burry yourself and there is no getting out and healthcare is so expensive and most of the time it is acquired through your work
If you get ill you can lose it all with a flick of a light I hope we can find a solution I hope Obama is the person who can make history.
Two men went to Italy Rome to make a wish on the Trevi Fountain… one man was from Spain, the other from the USA.
The Spaniard closes his eyes and gently kisses his euro dollar and then throws it in the fountain making a big splash
He then opens his eyes and right before him stands a 5ft 10 inches brunette… His wish came true.
The Spaniard was beaming with joy !
The American sees this so he does the same as he wiggles his eyebrows.
But! with his American dollar.
NO SPLASH! –Quickly the American opens his eyes wishing for the same -but to his disappointment he sees "Nothing"-Nothing before him!
Suddenly he feels something tugging his pants and as he looks down he sees a 2ft pint size woman.
The Spaniard smirks at the American as he walks away with his wish !
Scratching his head the American is left bewildered?
His dollar didn’t measure up to the euro !
Who will make our dollar go farther!
Make a simple order vote carefully and read between the lines put the USA back on the map the way it should be !
Lets make it happen! And maybe your wish can come true when you visit the Trevi fountain.

Politicians - Where can you find a sincere one?
So many promises! And so many to be broken! A child can see a homeless man and point him out. Some people say they are there cause they want to be there.
[...]! Something must’ve happened and I’m telling you it can happen to YOU!
You can become homeless with in a blink of an eye … why so many homeless!
Why such a large bracket from rich to poor? Where are the middle class?
How many of us are a paycheck away from poverty
You have a mortgage! You have health insurance and suddenly Boom!
You lose your job your become ill you’ve lost your home you cant make payments
And why? Cause your employer finds it easy to let you go- no warning -there should be a claw for Employers if you fire them you need to give them 4 weeks pay…and it has come to my attention some business find it easy to fire you at Christmas time what a lovely Christmas present - there is no respect for the worker today
The workers don’t stick together its every man for himself there is no unified workers where is the back bone
There is no backbone cause they are all to frighten of losing their jobs and I don’t blame them.
So much patriotism but who really exercise it when you really need it - your talk of third world country how they are overworked and underpaid every second American needs a second job just to live!
No wonder so many people lose the plot!
Is there a solution?
Lets bake a President
Recipe of a great PRESIDENT!!!!!
Powerful but real!
Smart but funny
Assertive but tender
He hears and listens
He takes care of his backyard
Before he takes care of someone else’s
Arrogant but humble
Give the working class respect and treat them for there worth
Make the big business know how important an employee is
Cause without employees there is no business
Wages should be equal if you are doing the same work as your coworkers
No matter what piece of paper you have or no matter what sex you are
A Healthy health care system
And now for the icing on the cake
Cut down those bloody taxes!
Cause I want to eat my cake too!
