Hand over Heart
I grew up as a little boy who in school put his hand over his heart and said the Pledge of Allegiance.
How could such a beleiving american as me come to be so distrustful of America and its direction?
It is because I am not dumb and I hate to see America going in the wrong direction.
I want to stand up and stop what I see as the decline of America. It is sad that some people are leaving this country becaue they have given up instead of fighting. I ask them to reconsider and stay here and fight.
Well, I am fighting and not leaving. And I am very sorry that even myself would now consider getting out of here. But, let's stay and make America what it shoud be.
Where are our great leaders?
The silence of our leaders is too much.
Speak out for America

1. We don't have a leader.
would be great if we DID have one, eh?

We have a grassroots movement... a ton of energy behind it... and NO LEADER. Either we have to figure out how to lead without so much as a SPOKESPERSON or SPOKESMODEL.... or we have to find a leader.

I thought John Kerry was our leader. Hmmm. apparently the guy merely wanted to win the presidency.. and that was it. I am so surprised that it didn't occur to him that he actually COULD lead 1/2 the country. I am guessin' the guy was vying for his own white house china. Didn't win, and took off.

What a lucky bastard John Kerry is. All that money, a great spouse, fab children... did I mention THE MONEY. I guess he's cool. The 55 million of us who voted for him? We are soooooooooooooo FUCKED.
