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.
