Volume 1.2

In my last blog, I talked about one of our major problems in the U.S., that being politics.  This blog I'm going to talk about the media.  We are constantly being inundated with bad news.  Let's take the issue on gun control.  Until the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, gun control was on the back burner.  Now with this incident, all you hear about is gun control.  All of sudden you start hearing about some other random shooting.  This will go on until the next disaster.  The media gives us information that they think we should have.  They spin news stories for higher ratings.  I guess I just get sick and tired of their ramble.  I refuse to watch the news, it continually pours bad news into my home.  Who knows what lies they feed us...We have to make informed decisions without being swayed by the media.  What will you do?  Don't believe everything the media tells you...

Volume 1.1

My first blog is about the citizens of our great nation.  We as Americans have let our government dictate our lives.  We have let the rich, buy out our votes each and every election.  We are promised a better economy, more jobs, less taxes...etc.  To my knowledge, our votes don't matter.  For example, as I read my Facebook page daily, I see patriotic slogans littering the pages.  We talk about doing something, but we never do.  Our country is liken to the likes of England, the land that our forefathers came from.  I'm not trying to bash England, I just want you to see where we were and where we are now.  Not too far from where our forefathers were in England.

Let's talk about the 2012 elections.  Over 125 million votes were cast in the last presidential election.  Obama received 65,899,557 votes, while Romney received 60,931,959 votes (http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/results).  Back to my Facebook analogy, if the election was cast on Facebook, Romney would have won in a landslide, or would he?  People talk a lot of smack on Facebook, but when it comes to putting your money were mouth is, they cower.  How are we going to return to a nation of greatness???  How are we going to rescue our country from the rich?  Can we overcome that?

I want to make a difference, do you?!?!
