Let’s face it. It wasn’t always like this, was it? Yes, I realize people are people, and we are doing the same bad things we’ve witnessed throughout the ages, but you’ve got to admit, it’s getting worst, isn’t it?

Take for instance the last 2006 election campaigns. The ads you saw and head did not talk about what the candidate has done and the benefits realized (or not) and the difference it has made. You didn't hear them talk about what they stand for and what they will do once elected. No, you don’t hear that. What you get is a whole lot of B.S. One person pointing out the other's mistakes and shortcomings.

No, I believe people need to know who you are and what you stand for. And that goes for you candidates that are running in the 2008 elections. In addition, not only tell us what you want to do, but show us your plan of how you will do it.

That is why I believe it is important to have a standardized approach for campaigning. Let’s give all voices a chance to be heard. Yes, I know as we have seen in the last few Republican debates with 10 candidates and all. But even still. As a representative of the people, lay out your plan of what you will do and how you will do it. It’s going to be hard, and it’s going to take time, but we should hear what you've got planned. That's what I want my blog to be; me letting you know what I stand for and what I think needs to be done to move America ahead. The politics of today are too bureaucratic and built on the power/money machine, and those who own a piece of the action now will not want to let go so easily, and so that is why I say it will be hard and it will take time.

We the people. The time has come. Will you stand with me for a new beginning. No more playing politics. We’ve got a great country and an opportunity for making it a better place. Our country and our interests should be represented, but as you have seen, over and over again, politicians are not in it for to good of all Americans. Let that fact be know.

If you elect me, I'll give you the best four years of my life and will take my issues directly to you, the people. If I'm overruled, I have no problem in going with another plan as long as it represents the values and beliefs of the working people. Those that have given deeply in the past to keep the machine of government running. No longer will we stand for politicians playing their games. It's over. We the people have spoken.
