I've been a writer long enough to shrug off the few personal attacks that I receive from some polarized readers. Mostly, I find agreement on the real issue, which is that America's Middle Class is circling the drain...no differentiation between party lines necessary for a ticket to that event.

This is war to save Middle America, not the Democrats or the Republicans. Their divide and conquer strategy is what brought us to this party and it remains the catalyst to keep it from ending early. Middle America is just now realizing that our contribution to this grand gala will be serving as the half-time entertainment in the sacrificial lamb ceremony.

There are those who promise some hope, not for Republicans or Democrats, but for plain old everyday Middle Class Americans. However, the Ron Paul's and Dennis Kucinich's are silenced and belittled by the media and big money.

We need to change that by uniting our voices, and our votes. Not by dividing across invisible political lines and shooting across at our neighbors.

The gold is under our feet, we just need to change our mining methods. "Change without compromise can only be accomplished by force. Change accomplished by force is never peaceful nor permanent."
