A New Approach In American Politics

We need to take a new approach to politics.  We need to take back America and advocate policies that the people want.  We need to create a government that works for the people.  We need government to operate more efficiently.  The American people deserve better.  We cannot have ceaseless partisan bickering.  We need to do what is right for America, do what is right for the people.

We advocate this new approach to politics.  We encourage people to become active in their communities and encourage good governance.  We need to keep up to speed with current events and let our representative know how we feel about the issues, events, and policies that define our nation.  We cannot sit back while all the decisions are made by Washington bureaucrats.  We need to take action.

Inspiring Speech Relevant in Today's World

A very inspiring speech with relevance even today.  Robert Kennedy's response to the killing of Martin Luther King Jr.  With his monument being recently unveiled, King's message deserves uncovering in this age of polarization and misunderstanding.

Two Party System is Broken

The two party system is dividing America.  With both the GOP and the Democratic Party's refusal to negotiate or give up ground on key issues, the American people continue to lose.  Instead of enacting reforms that Americans need, the parties have been politicking each move, deciding that electoral security is better than a prosperous America.

We need action.

We need people in the Congress who can form consensuses with others and keep in touch with the people.  Instead of feeding more money to their districts, we need to make government more efficient.  With such streamlining, we can promote growth.    The government needs to act for the people it represents, not just the big donors that bankroll their campaigns.  Most Americans are not so far to the left or right as our representatives.  We need people who will protect and work for the people's interests.

Cartoon View on Illegal Immigration

An interesting view on illegal immigration from a cartoon found on slate.com.  We hope that comics like these can start a debate on what we want from immigration policy.  Sure we want to secure borders and protect American jobs, but many immigrants represent what the spirit of America means.  They to want to live the American dream.  They are also good people.
