Hello All,
This election is proving to be a pivotal point of our time. With the country in such deep financial problems, states beginning to threaten or just plain shut down. We are in a financial crisis. What is this, you may ask? Well, we must first take a look at our infrastructure.
As I have traveled and lived all over the country, I have met many people from all walks of life. It seems that we all face the same problem. What is our Government doing to help protect this great country and its’ citizens? We know the issues at hand….Healthcare, Taxation, Job Growth, Foreign Relations, etc… These issues have and will always be at the forefront when it comes to Politics. The thing is there is a solution.
If we get back to the basics and return to what our country was founded upon, we could solve many of these issues. The problem at hand is that our officials have become jaded over the last few decades. We have gotten away from true politics for the people.
Remember, the Preamble:
“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ”
Let’s look at this! It starts with “We the People”, Now what does that mean….It means exactly that. Perhaps it is for those elected officials….we know that it was written by those founding leaders that wanted to make sure that this country would be sound and for the People that they govern. Well, that is where the problem lays. Have we forgotten who the “People” are? They are you and myself. The citizens of the United States. That means ALL! Not the select few(1%) that have the power to run this country because of money, but all the citizens that have helped by building this great country. Laborers, Small Business owners, Non-Profits…These are some of the core areas we should focus on.
We already know that when Big Business is in the mix…they take over the Mom and Pop(Small Business Firms) which account for:
99.7 percent of all employer firms.
Employ just over half of all private sector employees.
Pay 44 percent of total U.S. private payroll.
Have generated 64 percent of net new jobs over the past 15 years.
Hire 40 percent of high tech workers (such as scientists, engineers, and computer programmers).
Are 52 percent home-based and 2 percent franchises
Made up 97.3 percent of all identified exporters and produced 30.2 percent of the known export value in FY 2007.
(According to http://www.sba.gov/advocacy/7495/8420</a>)
We need to ensure that we are aiding the businesses in their growth and not just the large corporations and their lobbyist who are sitting in Washington pushing our Congressman on their agendas, because they have the monies to do so.
The most important factor is Religion. This becomes a sticky subject, because there are many who do not want to put that into the equation. When the Preamble speaks of the “Blessing of our Liberty”, then what is a blessing? A Blessing is a special favor, mercy, or benefit: the blessings of liberty. It is also defined as a favor or gift bestowed by God, thereby bringing happiness or the invoking of God’s favor upon a person.This shows that God is a factor. We must get back to our Constitutional Rights! God was at the forefront then and should be, now. What is now , has been before and will be in the future according to the Bible. So, it is up to us to remember our history and be able to reflect upon it to proceed into the future. (You have to know where you came from, in order to know where you are going.)
Well, we are forgetting that as a Nation. Everyone wants to take God out of the scenario. Why? If it had not been for God, where would we be? I know some people do not have that belief, and so the lawmakers want to make everyone happy, but that is not what this country was founded upon, so why would we change that? God is Love. Plain and Simple. We must love one another according to the Bible. Whether they are different or the same…we are all God’s children and if we go back to the simple word..we need to love one another despite their differences. Thou shall not judge, comes to mind, here. If you do not agree with someone, that is okay, but with love, you can pray for them and if it is God’s will…a change will come.
I say all of this, because we are at a crucial time in our lives. The world has changed, but by holding to Faith, All things are possible. Keep the Faith, America and elect those officials that will not stand for nothing less than that! Do not be influenced by the love of money.(The root of all evil) But, influenced by the word as you seek God’s grace and mercy. If you agree with me, I ask that you look at my Presidential Candidate, Andre Barnett. He may not be a seasoned Politician, but he is a child of God and has a plan to get America back on track. Feel free to ask any questions, hear from Mr. Barnett, or find out how you can help to get his message out and show your support.
You can view his plan at http://www.andrebarnett2012.com or you may email directly at obartlett@andrebarnett2012.com. I would love to hear from you.
We must act and take the Nation that we love back. One community at a time.
You may say how would you do that? It comes down to the churches and Nonprofit organizations. Churches are the connectors to the communities. Though some have been jaded and our being run as Big Business…there are still churches that are about Mission Work and I urge you to get involved in your community’s church and help them to do their part. Also, we need to get the government out of the churches rights and support the repeal of 501c3 for them.
I look forward to hearing from you and may God Bless you and Our Great Nation!
