The Election is Over

November 3rd, 2004 by Steve

But there are still issues in this country. Poverty is on the rise. Uninsurance is on the rise. Insurance rates are on the rise. Standard of living is rising faster than income. More and more jobs are becoming part-time and lower paying. The gap between rich and poor is growing. The national debt continues to grow at over 400 billion dollars a year (1.8 trillion in the last 4). Other nations grow poorer and poorer, sicker and sicker, as the U.S. spends less and less on foreign aid. The environment is becoming increasingly infringed upon. And of course, there are the wars. Violence needs to once again become the absolute last resort. Diplomacy needs a rebirth.

The Republican party controls all the levers of power right now (including the corporations who own the media), from the executive branch, Congress, the courts, most governorships, and most state legislatures. So in other words, I can’t do anything via the usual government channels. Thus the only thing left to me is petition, contacting/pestering my officials, and protest. 2 is unlikely to do anything, and 1 is marginal; protest is thus my only option.

If anyone wants to join in my Inauguration Day protest (not protesting the election, just protesting the policies of the past 4 years), let me know. If you’re interested in political activism, let me know. We’ve got a long 4 years ahead of us. Someone has to put a check and balance on these guys.

Sorry Everybody… this really says it.

Let’s all find a supporter of the other side and give them a big hug.

People are more important than issues.
