The Issues The Candidates Won't Touch (Part I)

Most of the candidates speak of “change”. My question is change to what? This nation certainly needs change, not to become something new, but to regain what seems to have been lost. We need to regain our sense of purpose, to allow America to become once again the shining light of opportunity. We need to see integrity in our elected officials. Instead of doing what is best for the party they belong to, to do the best for the American people. We need to return to the rule of law, not only for the citizens to follow, but also for government officials to follow. We need to help Americans at home instead of spending taxpayer’s money to ensure that everyone in the world thinks and acts as we do. We need to see the lock on public office that the two-party system has in place broken so that party politics will not override the will of the people. We need to stop the mega-wealthy and trans-national corporations from using loophole in the tax code to hide money in offshore accounts. We need regulation of trade so that huge monopolies such as the one that controls our mass media doesn’t take place again. We need to stop giving tax-breaks and subsidies to the oil companies such as Exxon/Mobile that posted the largest corporate profits in history this year.

These are just some of the changes we need. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone by putting too much information in one article. There is so much more to say and I will be saying it.

That’s the way I see it.
