When I watched Obama's inauguration address I was filled with tears. Not because your country finally elected a black man, or because I had any trust that he could fulfill his campaign promises, or because Ron Paul didn't win and McCain is on his death bed.
But because I saw in the eyes of Americans the hope and aspirations for the country that they wanted America to be. They had within the last 10 years gone from a relatively ignorant but promising time to being kicked down and crawled to their feet. George Bush's reign of foreign terror was to end, and they had elected somebody who could do it.
For the first 6-10 months of Obama's presidency I refused to pay attention to him. I didn't want to know. In fact I probably stopped caring about USA until after 2 years. And then I was pissed. Pissed because I was right again.
I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like to have elected him, and if you are elephants what it was like to know that McCain was no different than Bush.
Every day I wake up and I am filled with extreme sadness at the state of affairs of not only USA but the entire planet. I rant and I rave not because I hate America but because I refuse to acknowledge that THE GREATEST country that has ever been produced is in such sorry shape.
I am going to instead of posting spam and racism tell you something that you may not realize. It is something you will not accept, because it is so utterly scary and simple.
It is this - 354.
354 is the number of people you need to fix the country. 288 people to be congressmen, and 66 people to run for senate.
With 354 people working together, not even the president of the united states of America can stop you. With 354 people you can take back the country and within a YEAR restore it to what it used to be - a beacon of hope and opportunity for the entire planet.
Tell me. Tell me your country does not have 354 good people. I say to you, you are Abraham, and I am God. You are to find 354 good people in USA. You find those people, or I shall smite the country down.
Tell me you can't find 354 people.
