End the apathy and stand up for your rights!

Too many people are swayed by the retoric (the nonsence and lies) coming out of the mouths of politicians and the big-money corporations...people like the oil companies who are still trying to convince us that what they sell does not harm our enviornment. The sad thing is, that many people WANT to believe it because it is easier to go with the status quo. That, and people have been raised to respect their elders and their government. Too bad that they didn't KNOW the lies then. But...we have to start somewhere. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "power corrupts." Well, it hasn't just corrupted, it's created monsters. I am asking that people investigate for the truth. There is no perfect political party, or person for that matter. But look at ethics. Who cares more about "THE PEOPLE" than "THE MONEY" and "THE POWER?" Then do something...don't just sit back and say, "It's all broken, I'm just not going to vote for anyone." BECAUSE THAT IN ITSELF IS THEIR WEAPON...TO HAVE YOU NOT VOTE! And do what you can. STAND UP FOR YOUR BELIEFS. The republican congress has done nothing for the American citizens except do everything they can to hinder progress under President Obama's presidency. They say he has not done anything, and actually BLAME HIM for for economy! Mr. Bush spent 8 years destroying the economy by giving a tax cut to corporations to outsource jobs and by taking us into a war in Iraq which was a major lie and for which he should have been impeached. Things snowball...they do not happen overnight. You can not clean up a county's whole economy (and all the other major problems we have) in 3 years or 10 years. You first have to turn the train around, which doesn't happen in 5 minutes. But this is another of their marketing schemes...to destroy Obama. I do not agree with everything President Obama has done, but I can tell you that he is a world of difference from Romney! If Romney should by some possibility become President, I believe that this country will be so destroyed that we may not ever see the light.
