presidents-placemat-1

We all know that this country is a long ways from being great again and lots of things need to change. Health care is still unreachable for many, homelessness is still a huge problem, prisons are filled with mentally ill and chemically dependent people who should be in treatment instead of prison and children are living in fear of what is going to happen to them because we don’t have their backs.

Unfortunately republicans, democrats, or a certain elected official isn’t going to fix that but WE are! You and me and every other resident in this country will be the change agents by using the skills, talents abilities, interests and experiences we have all been given to do what no president ever has or ever will be able to do; make a difference in the lives of those only we come in contact with every day.

You see it is we the people that founded this country and made it great. It is we who have to ask not what our country can do for us but what we can do for our country. WE are the ones that have to catch the vision of what needs  reform, be the champions of change and the hope for the future

Some say America was discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus but we know that the Native American Indians and others were here long before that. It was the visionaries and the common people, that led the way until 1789, nearly 300 years later that our first President was elected. It was we the people that wrote the constitution and it will be WE the people that will “make America great again,” not one leader because  “it takes the whole village” to raise a child and change a nation!

So as we consider the future, consider what you can do to be part of the WE that will change history by doing what our forefathers committed to when they wrote the Pledge of Allegiance and promised to keep this ”one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”

Only we, as individuals can make that happen. I vote for you!
