“The Republic: Our Commonality.”

My hope is that the parties of Democrats, Tea/Republicans, Green, Libertarian, Independents, and Progressives, can find commonality in our beliefs about how to provide for all the citizens in the Republic.

If many of us could simply talk to one another other instead of "at" each other I think--rather I know--we could move the Republic in a direction that 10,000 years from now poets will still have difficulty writing sonnets about our descent to the stars.

Many use the term "Yes We Can" as a catch phrase, but it means so much more:

• Yes We Can find a cure for Cancer and HIV/AIDS

• Yes We Can end poverty and homelessness

• Yes We Can end illiteracy and build innovative schools that will create entrepreneurs, and scholars

• Yes We Can create a government that will be above corruption, and when needed, prosecute Wall Street and elected officials that violate effectively serving its citizenry

• Yes We Can remove, rebuke, refute, render powerless, repudiate--not to be confused by Mrs. Palin's "Refudiate" those Americans whose intent it is to divide us through fear, lies and misconceptions.

I want to be clear when I say yes we can once again be the beacon of hope that the rest of the world has come to admire in us--if only we are willing to make what's best for the Republic our commonality.
