Rolling Stone Block The Vote

This sort of thing scares the bajeezus out of me! The problem is inherent in how our information is disseminated to the public. Many people are intimidated or do not know how to find out the legal information. There are still people who are not online nor do these people read the newspaper (which is a whole other issue in being bias anyway).

It seems ruthless and pathetic that it is a cutthroat situation, when one party wants to stay in power to the detriment of this country.

I came out of high school a Republican. Based on what I learned as a high school senior. It was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, it first came to power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln, to the presidency.

That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Federal Constitution, "That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," is essential and that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the states, and the Union of the states, must and shall be preserved. That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the states, and especially the right of each state, to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends, and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any state or territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.

The party today stands for the opposite of why I joined: it now supports a right-wing neo-conservative platform, with further foundations in supply-side fiscal policies, deregulation and social conservatism. It is a narrow minded group of control freaks, who believe their way is the only way.

I am an independent and will remain one until the ideology of a political party resonates with what I believe should carry us through as a country.
