The Title Says it All.....

I would say that I am an average American and I think that the adjective "angry" when applied to myself and many others is accurate. I am a stay at home mom to two little girls, but contrary to the opinions of Linda Hirschman, I am extremely active in politics and I would consider myself to be educated on the issues that face our country.
Once a week, I will be blogging here about the upcoming election, issues that face our country, the faux paus of the various candidates etc..... In this election year, the outcome is just too important to sit idly by. We all have to challenge one another to do more, say more, think more and most importantly, to get out there and exercise our civic duty to vote.
I don't know about you, but I am so bone weary of politics as usual. I'm tired of the status quo - politicians make promises for a better tomorrow and then blame the "other side" when they don't or can't deliver. I'm tired of our country being a country of "red" and "blue" states. When I look at our country from space, I don't see any "red" or "blue". Shouldn't every single American care more about what is best for their country than they do about political party?
I'm tired of individuals who drink the blue and red kool aid and do little more than regurgitate the talking points of their party. This blog is about ideas - evaluating honestly those put forth by both sides. I hope you will join me on this journey and maybe, this really is our moment to make a difference. Maybe together we really can make a real change for the betterment of our country, ourselves and our children.
