Candidates who do not believe in change are SPINELESS!

I've never heard so much drivel being thrown at voters. They say that the poorer people of America cannot have services that actually help them i.e. health service for all, no free college education and expansion of social security etc. because it's too much trouble. Hillary has basically said it's too much trouble.

To say that something can't be done is ridiculous! It's is SPINELESS. It is obvious that Obama helped turn things around for the economy after Bush's mess and Wall Street is now hopping. He's done a lot: improved healthcare, fighting for the environment however the recession still applies to main street which is the republicans fault. The poorer of society are still hurting. FDR managed to change things - other leaders have done it too. There is no problem changing things for war and funding war - yet if it's anything for the poor - it's NO.

It's not acceptable!

A vote for the establishment = No, we can't!
A vote for hope = Yes, we can!
