politics smallitics

When I was in high school I had the opportunity to be an aide to the capital in Helena. I had a wonderful time and loved the experience. I even went so far as to major in political science my first year in college. Philosophy and polictical history, ended this dream which was more of lets make money than what I really wanted to do with my life.
I am still interested in politics but as a by stander. I do not go out and promote candidates, or wear my view on a bumper sticker on my car. However that being said, I do have a view point, but I really try to listen. I do not do a very good job of listening most of the time, but I try. I am very sure of one thing. No matter the party, politicians just like to hear themselves talk. I think if we really listen we find that they are not listening to us. They like to talk, they like to make us think that they are listening but they are not. We must be the ones to listen to ourselves and to speak out about what is right and what we need as a country. I do not feel that this has to be a party issue. It is a people issue. What will make us a stronger country, what will help our people, what is the right thing to do. How can we stay free and equal....
We need to speak for acceptance, love one another for our differences, and to recognize that PEACE is the most important thing that our world needs. I want to thank my two nephews who are in our armed forces going out there and protecting us every day. I admire and love you two boys more than you will ever know. Please stop today and say a prayer for the men and women protecting us. Pray that the politicians hear our cries to end this WAR and to help our country to heal and come together as the leader of the free world. Welcome our differences and see our needs. Help your neighbor, be a friend to someone new today. Welcome the differences.....
