This is How I Think We Can Save America #tosaveamerica

I actually have been considering this for a long time, so here are my thoughts...


  • We must teach our children responsibility and accountability.
    • To blame other people is to make an excuse for our own bad behavior.  It is a justification to continue laziness and an excuse not to work on problems.  
  • We must know and understand our history and WHY our founding fathers founded America.
    • We must know why government, when given too much power, will kill the spirit of it's people.  Government must be reigned in and controlled with a heavy hand so that people can remain free.  
  • We must band together so our voices can be heard.
    • Read, tweet, blog, meet.  Don't leave it up to others, we must all work together to turn this around. We can't think that someone else will stand up and say something.  We must all do it so that we are heard.
  • We must look past headlines of ALL news organizations, do research and find the truth.
    • We can no longer take news for face value.  We are no longer in the times of Woodward and Bernstein.  Today's reporters are just that... reporters.  They mind-numbingly regurgitate whatever they are told to.  They are afraid to find and report the truth.  I don't know why, but they are.  They are doing a disservice to themselves, to us, and to America.  They should be ashamed.
