"On November 2: The Rise of the Republic's Citizenry."

On November 2nd, the mission is clear: Vote for the party that despite receiving "NO" support from the other political party, passed legislation to pull the middle class and working poor from the brink of oblivion and from one of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, or you can cast your cherished vote for the Tea/Republican Party that for more than 2 years supported the wealthy and corporations as they continue their zealous crusade in moving America backwards.

Registered Progressive Independents and Democrats--we cannot go back! Yes, there are members of the Democratic Party that are not supporting the party for moving the country forward as well, but the Tea/Republican Party has not served any of us--the middle class, working poor, and poor. That is not a talking point--that is the truth!

My dissatisfied middle class and working poor registered Republican brethren--are you happy with your elected officials? Have they served you, your families, and the community where you reside with diligence and integrity?

You may dislike President Obama, but did he not make good on his promise that he would reach out to the elected officials in the Tea/Republican Party you voted for in order to get the government to work for you and me? And what was the response of the Tea/Republican Party to President Obama's gesture? They politically slapped him around for more than 2 years voting "No" on every piece of legislation he offered which in many instances was legislation they previously supported.

The way to change our government is to vote out career, corrupt, and partisan politicians. Those types of politicians are detrimental to democracy. What they have become are political prostitutes. It is unfortunate that they just don't step aside and let new public servants bring innovative ideas that represent the needs of all Americans.

The fact is the Tea/Republican Party cannot bring balance to the Republic. When the Tea/Republican Party supports candidates with extremist ideology such as making abortion illegal even if a woman has been raped or molested, eliminating social security, and forcing Muslims to renounce their religion to become Christians, that is not what America represents.

On November 2nd, we the citizens are called upon once again to rise for the sake of the Republic's future--vote. By not voting, you are part of a self-fulfilling prophecy of allowing those who refuse to help you to take control. Those who look down on you are counting on that!

“But Who Gives A Damn.....Right?”

The greatest crime of the current economic debacle in America is that the children are the new face of poverty.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 American children are living in poverty and that 1 in 4 American children are on food stamps. 1 in 5 children are impoverished, here--in America. What’s more striking is that nearly 50% of all children in America will be on food stamps at some point before they reach their 18th birthday. To make matters gloomier, the Tea/Republican Party just “assassinated” the extension of the Welfare-to-Work Program that would’ve assisted families in obtaining employment so that they could provide food and shelter to their children.

And the nightmare continues:

• Almost 500,000 American children are homeless
• In 2010, 21% of American children are living below the poverty line
• America’s poverty rate is 3rd worst among developed nations
• 45 million Americans are living in poverty,
• More than 40 million citizens are receiving food stamps
• The largest rise of poverty in America since 1959
• 1 in 6 Americans are being served by at least one government anti-poverty program
• 9.7 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits
• 1 in 7 mortgages in the United States are delinquent or in foreclosure
• 46% of those currently unemployed in America have been out of work for more than six months
• 1 in 4 residents are impoverished in Philadelphia ranking as the second-worst in America

Consequently, we are a nation that’s become so obsessed in admiring our greatness that by not addressing poverty when it was in its infancy just like we failed to do with racism, religious intolerance and political corruption, poverty has now morphed into an entity so strong that it stubbornly clings tightly to the Republic and refuses to let go.

"An Irrelevant, Insignificant and Obsolete Political Party."

For better or worse, the Republican Party and their supporters can manipulate and blame the failings of the Republic's current financial, education, and unemployment crisis on President Obama and the Democrats, but I ask you, the dwindling middle class and increasingly working poor Americans--are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?

Candidate Ronald Reagan asked that question to Americans during his debate with then President Jimmy Carter who was seeking re-election. Reagan would go on to become President based on skillfully convincing the citizens that the problems of the times were the result of the Democrats and President Carter. However, if you look closer, it was Republican Presidents Nixon and Ford who were greatly responsible for many of the social ills from 1968-1975.

Three of the last five U.S. Presidents have been Republican and those Presidents and the Republican/Tea Party were instrumental in thrusting America into two wars and several economic crises that nearly ruined the country. President Clinton was able to accomplish what Reagan, Bush I and Bush II campaigned on and failed mightily to do-- balance the budget.

Today, in spite of the Republican/Tea Party's feeble attempts to instill hysteria in Americans and the unveiling of their most recent pathetic policy of "Pledge for America"--the follow-up to their 1994 incoherent, weak, and vacillating "Contract for America"--the party cannot lead us to prosperity, pure and simple.

For the record, citizens of the Republic are being assisted, and we are moving in the right direction, albeit not as fast as many people would like, but we are on the path to prosperity.

As we watch the Republican/Tea Party members devour each other one thing becomes clear: decades from now the only memory of the GOP will be found in the history books marked under "an irrelevant, insignificant and obsolete political party."

"GOD's Agents on Earth--Not."

If it's true, unquestionably true, then they can never go back to the way things used to be because they've changed things--forever.

If it’s true, unequivocally true then all that awaits Mr. Long, Mr. Dollar, and others that pervert the word is condemnation, but we must remember that these individuals are not GOD'S agents on earth--they're not!

However, in their position they do have a responsibility to rebuild decaying communities by providing services that they need. With that said, Pastors, Ministers, Bishops, Rabbis and the Iman are NOT entitled to take advantage of wounded neighborhoods nor their parishioners that are broken spiritually, pure and simple.

If Mr. Long is innocent, then his accusers must be brought to justice, and no expense must be spared to ensure that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for attempting to destroy this individual's reputation and his life.

If Mr. Long is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, then he has betrayed the people that looked to him for spiritual guidance, and redemption will be long and arduous for him to come by. If Mr. Long has, in fact, stolen the innocence of his accusers, then most importantly, he has betrayed GOD and thereby proved he is not the spiritual agent on earth he thought he was.

"DADT Be Damned."

So, you want my brethren who are gay and lesbian that are serving and protecting the Republic and its citizens from foreign and domestic foes to be dismissed from the military based on their sexual orientation?

So far more than 13,000 soldiers have been kicked out of the military not to mention the countless men and women that have died in defense of America and her allies solely on the basis of their sexual preference.

DADT must be purged from our society once and for all, and it can if elected officials like John McCain and Lindsey Graham get out of the way and stop interfering with progress.

Mr. McCain, you may be a military hero but you're a "political coward" who doesn't represent the people--you represent political interests. Mr. McCain, Mr. Graham, and their ilk are the follies of the Republic's political system and our carbon copies of those politicians that bought about the end of the Roman Empire.

Imagine if the remaining soldiers in all the branches of the military--3 million strong--decided in solidarity to stand-up and say, "I am gay" and "I am a lesbian." What would our military resemble once they were shown the exit?

On November 2, remember the elected officials that embrace DADT and continue to treat gays and lesbians like second class citizens.

“They Couldn’t Give A Damn.”

Americans have every right to disapprove of the job performance that Democrats have done. But if you take a closer look, Democrats have accomplished and implemented policies such as the stimulus package that despite the rhetoric has created millions of jobs, expanded federal healthcare to millions of uninsured citizens, and Wall Street reform.

However, why would Americans want vote for candidates of the Republican/Tea Party when they’ve done "absolutely nothing" to support the middle class, working poor and poor Americans? In fact, the Republican/Tea Party voted to cut off unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of Americans that are in dire need, threatened to cut-off state aid that would lead to hundreds of thousands of additional layoffs of citizens, created a massive deficit where none existed, and in 2008 failed to address the current financial crisis that the Republic is mired in, as well as involving us in two wars that cost the lives of thousands of American troops and a war debt that will take several decades to pay-off.

From 1994 until 2006 Republicans “Contract with America” was considered a failure--by Republicans, and during this time the Republican/Tea Party grew the size of government and also shutdown the federal government.

So Progressives, Democrats, and Independents--we have a decision to make on November 2nd: Either vote for the Democratic Party that despite “No” support from the Republican/Tea Party passed legislation that is aiding Americans in one of the worst recessions post WWII or vote for the Republican/Tea Party that couldn’t give a DAMN about the middle class, working poor, and poor American.
