The Bush Baloney Bail Out Plan - No Thank You!

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Monday, September 29, 2008 4:23:56 PM

I am grateful to hear that congress,  both democrats and republicans actually defeated what will be Bush's worst decision since nominating Miers and saying 'she is my friend you can trust her' as the sole argument for her qualifications to be a supreme court judge.

I voted for Bush. However, this is a time to rise up and respond as Americans and not as party hacks. This 'bail out' plan sounds more like Bush planning to bail out his rich buddies in Wall Street for bankrupting financial institutions. How much money is enough for these greedy people? It would be better for Bush to pardon these thugs, after they have been jailed for bankrupting wall street, than for him to peddle this baloney bail out plan without any accountability or transparency being required from the thugs who caused this mess in the first place. At least then, we can always argue - it is within a presiden't prerogative to pardon whomever he or she chooses.

Before we 'hurriedly' sign on to this 'saving Bush's friends' bail out plan, here are some basic questions that need to be answered. We need to know 'the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth'. We need these answers given under oath so that we the people know that the court can prosecute anyone who commits perjury.
 
1. Who got paid to bankrupt these financial institutions? We need names and the executive positions held by all the people in all the specific institutions that have failed and now have reorganized their status from lending institutions to banks in order to qualify for the Bush Baloney Bail Out plan.

2. How much were these people paid? While they are quick to tell us we are 'melting down' and want all the $700 billion now and not in installments to allow for accountability, we should not trust this 'do it now or else' premise. Why? Panic-based decisions will lead us to an even worse path because the solutions will be temporary and not permanent. If we know how much the executives (decision-makers) were paid to bankrupt these institutions, then the Bush Baloney Bail Out plan, can be replaced by a principle centered plan that gives specific reasons as to why the crisis happened, and specific long term solutions. It is impossible to hurriedly form a Bush Baloney Bail Out plan without understanding the reason we got here. 

3. What should the executives (decision-makers) do to make restitution? After we have names, positions and compensation, we can discuss the required restitution. Ken Lay went to court, so at a minimum these people who were making decisions should go to court. It appears as it, they cooked books early and often enough to give a false impression of how well they were doing.  We want at a minimum jail time for 'cooking books' and misleading tax payers that the institutions were doing well when in fact, they were not. As for the politicians, Bush and Pelosi should be impeached and jailed for not showing leadership in the executive branch and in the house of representatives, respectively.

4. What are the unintended consequences of this bail out? If Bush and Congress go along with bailing out these crooks then all people who are current on their mortgages should default so that they too can be rewarded with lower interest rates. That's right! Main street should hold Wall Street hostage by refusing to pay their mortgages because what is good for the goose, is good for the gender.

 5. When did Paulson and the Wall Street Kabala come up with this genius 'bail out' plan before or after they cooked the books? It seems to me the readiness of a 'bail out plan' coupled with 'it must be done right now' raises the question - what did Paulson and the Wall Street kabala who are going to 'save us now' know, and when did they know it? This stinks so much that Bush ought to be ashamed for rubber stamping it.

 6. Email congress and tell them to say no to this Bush Baloney Bail Out plan. The email is 'budget.democrats@mail.house.gov' and 'budget.republicans@mail.house.gov'. Let us take back our country and build it up one good financial institution at a time. Do not support any panic-based decision. Wait for the next president to address this very important issue with long term repercussions. Time will reward our patience if we slow down enough to understand what specifically went wrong and how do we ensure it won't happen again in the future? We can all buckle up and understand that it is better to let incompetent and ineffective institutions fail, than reward them without accountability because it will cause worse problems for us in the future. 

Alternatively, we the people can learn to 'work the bail out system' by seriously considering defaulting on our mortgages to qualify for the lower interest rates as a way to let Bush and Wall Street know - we too can play hard dirty politics within the system to get rewarded. Forclosure anyone? Any sensible person who believes he or she is being punished for actually making a wise mortgage should email congress and explain to them the case against this 'bail out' baloney.   This Bail Out rises to an impeachable offense and we should not let the president or wall street hold tax payers hostage with their panic-based decision and threats to melt down our economy unless we bail them out. Email congress and tell them to say no to this Bush Bail Out Baloney plan. The email is 'budget.democrats@mail.house.gov' and 'budget.republicans@mail.house.gov'.

Ahmedinejad, Barak and McCain

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Saturday, September 27, 2008 5:59:53 PM
Yesterday's debate had many memorable moments.
 
My favourite was when McCain directly asked 'so we sit down with Ahmedinejad and he says 'i want Isreal wiped out of the map', and we say 'NO' - oh please! (complete with hand gesture)'.
 
This moment sums up why McCain kept reminding the american people that obama does not get it, and McCain will not need on-the-job-training (thanks Biden) because he is ready to deal with our enemies and our friends from day one.
 
It also explains why Barak Hussein Obama said 'John is right'. What a great show of bi-partisanship. Now that we agree with John and Barak agrees with John, at least on 8 of the most important foreign policy issues we the voters can confidently vote for McCain-Palin without reservation.

Who Died and Made Wall Street King?

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Thursday, September 25, 2008 12:16:39 AM
When was the last time, we the people had an opportunity to take over our country economically, politically and socially? NOW. The panic discussed by Bush belongs to Wall Street not Main Street. It turns out that people in Main Street know how to turn a penny into a dollar without leveraging. They buy a product, sell it and earn a profit. They offer a service, get paid for it and earn a profit. This simple economic system differs from Wall Street where people become millionaires by borrowing money from Paul to loan Sam and asking Paul and Sam to pay for 'financial services rendered'. Main Street should refuse to bail out Wall Street and send a message that it's time for these over paid non-producing millionaires to 'get a job' and pay for their own mess.
 
For too long, Wall Street has manipulated markets so that the top executives earn the most money for doing what? taking one person's money and using it to buy another person's company then 'inside trading' with colleagues to ensure only the few at the top benefit. Remember Micheal Douglas saying 'greed is good'? Well then, when greed breeds losses shouldn't we the people say to the men and women who created the crisis, 'No Thank You, we do not want you to save us or the economy'!
 
Wall Street is in a panic not Main Street. The panic Bush is talking about has been perpetuated by the same people who robbed us blind. Now we are supposed to take their word for it that 'without them, we are finished!'. We the people believe that we can turn this economy around by buying and selling products and real services. Let us fight for our right to control our future. Let us stop these few privileged people from turning this country into a United States of Europe where the people no longer have a say and the 'king' replaced by the federal government decides our future.
 
We want justice and we want it now! Name these crooks and jail them for cooking the books while making us believe 'only they can save us now'. We do not buy the hype from the Bush Administration and we do not want to give these crooks 700 billion dollars for any reason. Call it even, we the people will build this nation from scratch if we have to, but let us not succumb to these bullies by paying them $700 billion. What do they have on Bush and other law makers that everything has to be done quickly and without any due process for the citizens of this country? If this is Bush's last act as president, it will be a fatal blow worse than 9/11/2001. The back door deals need to stop and the power needs to transfer from Wall Street to Main Street today. Just like we changed the course of the infamous immigration bill, we should change the course of this 'bail out' plan. 
 
Let Main Street decide our future economically, politically and socially. No federal government should have the power to bully it's citizens into rewarding Wall Street for greed with a $700 billion check. This looks like a Monarchy not a United States of America. We might as well go back to answering to the Queen of England so that she can tax us and then decide what to do with our money without any accountability. Who died and made Wall Street King? Americans ought to let Bush and the Federal Government Workers know, we aint buying what they are selling and we don't trust their 'new bail out deal' any more than we trust the statement 'we are in a melt down because Wall Street said so' Really?

The Federal Government Held Hostage

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 2:34:13 AM
Imagine if your kid stole your credit card and ran up charges worth 100K. What would you do?
  1. Close the account and pay the entire balance and take the kid to court for restitution.
  2. Close the account and ask the kid to work and make payments for as long as it takes to pay everything back.
  3. Close the account and take legal action to garnish the kid's wages to pay back what he or she stole from you.
  4. Keep the account open, pay the balance and give your kid 7 other credit cards worth 100K, and blame it on the credit card companies and the financial system that allowed your kid to charge your card. Then hope that your kid will learn his or her lesson and use up the new 700K credit line wisely.
The financial industry bail out being proposed by the federal government is equivalent to option 4. Wall street has mismanaged all their credit lines and the solution being proposed is to 'give them a bigger credit line' without any conditions. The wall street crowd is holding the federal government hostage by saying ' we either get all the 700 billion in the next week or the economy collapses. We won't accept 150 billion and wait to account for it in 90 days'. This is the worst hostage crisis in our history and it's about time, we the people took action. No bail out, and yes, we can survive without wall street. How did our fore father's build this great nation? Not by leveraging or taking irrational risks! We the people need to let wall street know that our economy will not be held hostage by greedy people who put their self interests/profits first then buy politicians to get them to turn a blind eye while they rob us blind. It is unfathomable, and we the people need to refuse any negotiations with terrorists in wall street.
 
The case against financial bail outs is simple. If we bail out wall street at the price of 700 billion dollars and allow the same crooks to continue running financial markets then next time (and there will be a next time), they will require twice that amount of money when they hold the federal government hostage. They will say 'pay up or we will crash the entire economy'. Payers always get into hostage situations because if you can pay once, you will pay again and again. The people holding the federal government hostage know that if they can create enough panic and raise the stakes to scare the federal government, the politicians will pay for their miscalculations with our money while making us believe that they are doing us a favor. My fellow americans, we the people must hold our federal government officials responsible by letting them know, we won't bail wall street no matter what the cost.
 
What if the economy melts down? Who said the economy will melt down? The same people who set it on fire. At this rate, their word should not be worth a cup of coffee at a gas station. I think this mess is made of 5 to 7 financial institutions whose contribution to our economy may be sizable but do not rise up to the level of a 'complete economic meltdown'. Remember, our economy has multiple sectors that are doing well. What is the total number of people who will lose their houses? That percentage is less than the number of people who will keep their houses. What is the total number of financial institutions that will collapse? That number is less than the institutions that will thrive. Also, we would rather have fewer but solid financial institutions, even at the risk of a really tough economic slow down, than have multiple weak financial isntitutions being managed by crooked investors and politicians.
 
If we bail out these crooks and crooked politicians, it will send the message that future investors can make even riskier investments because if their financial risks/miscalculations draw losses, they will hold the federal government hostage until the federal government pays up using tax payers' money. This hostage situation can only be stopped by stopping all bail outs. Asking all the people who are responsible in the political and financial arena to make restitution. Stopping all bail outs will minimize the power of wall street and allow we the people to build our financial industry on solid ground. What did our fore fathers do during the great depression? they build up our country one idea at a time.
 
My fellow americans, let's go back to the drawing board and trust our ability to create wealth using simple ideas that are supported by the free market. Let us not succumb to wall street terrorists who are holding the federal government hostage and saying 'give us 700 billion of the tax payers money or we will crash the economy'. If our country is so weak that without the 6 financial institutions, our economy would collapse, then what we need is new institutions built on solid principles, not a bail out of weak financial institutions. 
 
Why shouldn't we support the bail out plans? because we should neither trust the federal government nor the people who created this mess with 700 billion dollars of our money. It is unacceptable that our federal government expects us to trust these crooks again with more money than they mismanaged the first time. Who is running america? Wall Street or Main Street? We can end this hostage crisis right now. Call your congress person and say No Thanks to the bail out this week or ever.
 
While wall street was holding the federal government hostage this weekend, the Russians were delivering missle heads to Venezuela. Energy Independence is imperative if we intend to keep our financial markets strong. It is also a good reason to drill locally and keep 700 billion at home by creating new american jobs that provide american energy with clean coal. We don't have 10 years to wait for wall street to hold the federal government hostage again. Drill here, drill now and pay less at the pump while creating american made clean energy.

Obama and Economic Melt down

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Friday, September 19, 2008 10:33:15 PM
The current economic crisis calls for tax payers to request the names of the main players who contributed to it, and what restitution they will make to us. When Enron collapsed we got names and restitution. When Qwest stock crashed costing employees their retirement plans, we got names and restitutions. Now Fannie-Mae and Lehman Brothers have collapesed and instead of getting names and restitution, the culprits are working on Obama's Economic Advisory Team and Tax Payers will make the restitution for their goof ups to the tune of half a trillion dollars. I say, the housing crisis should be treated the same way the government treated the retirement crisis caused by the corruption of CEO's.

Question 1: If these men bankrupted a private company, how can americans trust them to advise Obama in the executive branch of government?

Question 2: Should Obama and Dodd give back all the money they received from Fannie-Mae and Lehman Brothers? (he's 2nd on the list of top receipients and Dodd is 1st)

Question 3: After Obama and Dodd give back the money, what should they do to make restitution for being catalysts to the great economic meltdown?

At a minimum, we the american people should not trust this crook named Obama to run this country. He will turn it into a 3rd world country by stealing our tax dollars and sharing them with his cronies at home and abroad. Also, Obama should explain to the american people why he was on the 'take' from these two companies.

McCain's warning about Fannie-Mae demonstrates his sound judgement and fore sight in this current economic crisis. First, he used good judgement and fore sight to champion the surge in Iraq that Obama has now admitted worked - but still wonders how it worked. Second, McCain used sound judgement and fore sight to warn congress to proactively act to prevent Fannie-Mae from causing an economic crisis. On both instances, Obama was wrong and this is why we can't trust him or his foreign policy advisors and economic advisors to run this nation.
 
Tell Barak that his scheming to the tune of half a trillion dollars from tax payers is ENOUGH for the american tax payers.
Vote McCain=Palin 2008!

McCain's Life Story and Love Story

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Friday, September 05, 2008 8:49:26 PM
Few people find a passion that can keep them interested for a lifetime. Indeed, when we think of our heros in sports, we find that they have been consumed by a single passion (their sport) most of their lives. As a result, they have done amazing things in their sport and contributed to the history of that sport. McCain's passion for our country was made evident in his acceptance speech last night.
 
Once in a life time we will have the opportunity to elect a man whose life story is also his love story. Listening to McCain last night raised my level of respect for him. Hearing him tell how his love of country occured in another person's country made me realize that McCain has defined our country's history abroad by the wars he won and lost and at home by the laws he chose to challenge and the laws he chose to support in the Congress. McCain's deep love of country and his life story are so intertwined that I could not tell where his life ends and where his love of country begins.
 
Listening to McCain tell his life story made me love my country even more. Once in a lifetime we get a person whose passion for life and passion for a single cause merge so strongly that those who 'get it' want that person to help influence the future. McCain can influence our future as a country using all the lessons he has learned in his life's journey. Why? His country defines his life and his life defines our country's past struggles and present victories. 
 
McCain's past victories in battle have shaped the country we are today. Today, McCain's victory in this election will shape the battles we will have to fight in the future. It is appropriate to give McCain the honor to define our future as a country because without the sacrifices made by him and others, we would not have such an honorable country. McCain's pursuit of the presidency concludes a life time of honorable service that will find it's place in history books. What a great honor to vote for a candidate with a historic love of country to help him write the next chapter of our history. By picking Governor Palin, he ensured that he would transition his vision for the future to the next generation. And this in itself is a great last act of service to a country he loves and one that loved him back by electing him.
 
McCain-Palin 2008 will make it easier to say God Bless America!

Deciding America's Future John, Sarah, Barak and who?

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Friday, September 05, 2008 1:20:35 AM
When a leader is self assured, accomplished, and is serving a cause greater than himself, he does not need a hollywood set to make his lifestory engaging or believable. Watching McCain tonight reminded me of the comfort I got when my grandmother would comfort me in the absence of my mother. It is the security that comes from knowing that the person who is talking to you has walked a road that nobody should ever have to walk in order to offer the comfort he is offering. Indeed, John S. McCain's work on earth was not done yet, and that is why he survived so many 'close calls' during his military career. It is also why he became the nominee against all odds and used his wisdom to pick a VP who would energize the very base that had counted him out. These unexpected life's moments can not be described in script or screen, although they tried to do so tonight. It can only be felt by the heart, and processed by the mind each day, as the brain configures an understanding of how the divine, uses the human, to strategically defeat evil and vindicate what is right.
 
Listening to McCain tonight made me realize that the race is now between three people, McCain (the leader), Palin (the executor) and Obama (the questionable candidate). It seems like McCain has decided not to dignify Obama's youthful attacks with a direct response but rather to let Governor Palin, the executor, who is closer in age to Obama, deal with the youthful sparring. By rising up above the partisan conversation, McCain proved tonight that he really is an american leader not a republican leader. His gracious acknowledgement of Obama, was beyond the call of duty, considering Obama spent his convention insulting and attacking McCain. It did demonstrate the bi-partisan politics that McCain will embrace in Washington.
 
The youthful sparring between Palin and Obama will make this election exciting and historic. In the end, one of the 40 somethings will have convinced americans that McCain is the right leader for our country during these difficult times.  The two forty somethings will also take time to discuss with americans whether Obama is the really the change we need and can trust.  Trust is difficult to build because it can not be bought or negotiated. It must be earned. McCain's life story gives him a big score on the trust factor. Obama's life story, inspiring as it might be, it does not earn the trust with americans, especially the 'small town' americans.
 
Obama has 60 days to let americans know why McCain should not be trusted by the the very people he has been fighting for all his life. This is a hurdle that would have been easier to clear without the Palin factor. Something about Palin makes americans believe that Obama is not change we can trust because McCain has a record and Obama does not. McCain uses his career to make change happen, and Obama uses change to further his career. McCain will fight to keep us safe from our enemies, and Obama will fight for the miranda rights of our enemies.
 
Either way, it was comforting tonight to hear a candidate speak about his pride and love of country. For the past two years, all we've heard is what is wrong with the USA. Tonight, we heard with humility and grace, why this is still a country worth loving and defending. A country that 'makes history' and does not shy away from historically challenging times. A country that has produced a man whose life story connects our past, and present to the future generation.
 
McCain has given thirty somethings and forty somethings a reason to pledge allegience to the flag of the United States and the country for which it stands. He has reminded us why this is the land of the free and home of the brave. He also reminded us why in this election, change is not enough. We the people must use sound judgement to ensure the right change comes to washington. With Governor Palin's execution of domestic policy, and Senator McCain dealing with our enemies and ally's abroad, I am confident, we will remain a strong country. And these two will leave Washington D.C better than they found it. And that is very comforting for a forty something like me who has children to think about.
 
John S. McCain is an american hero, and one worthy of a last call to service as the President of the United States of America.

Palin Power Prevails!

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Thursday, September 04, 2008 5:57:02 PM
It was September 3rd, 1991 when I first saw the statue of liberty. I wondered whether I had made the right choice to leave my family behind and migrate to the USA. Governor Palin's speech marked my 17th anniversary as an immigrant and made me proud to identify myself as 'an american' both 'in good times and in bad times'. I have not felt this kind of pride since I became an american and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Governor's speech has something real for every american family and something to make them proud.
 
  1. For americans who are worried about their young sons going into Iraq, Palin reminded them that McCain was the only man they should trust to bring their children back home with honor and dignity.
  2. For americans who wonder whether they can go up the ladder of success in public service without marrying into a wealthy family or going into debt to earn an Ivy League degree, she reminded us it can get done  with smiles and good cheer from our family members(i.e. PTA Mom, City Council Woman, Mayor, Governor, and soon to be Vice President).
  3. For americans who have special needs children and want to make this country a 'more welcoming place' then 'you have an advocate in the whitehouse'.
  4. For americans who wonder whether it's possible for a woman to be a strong effective leader and yet be comfortable in her femininity and role as a mother and wife, they saw the real deal yesterday.
  5. For americans who want to shake up washington and bring an everyday american to the executive branch, they can judge Governor Palin by her decision to 'sell a private jet on ebay and fire a chef' because it's 'over the top' for tax payers to fund them. This is exactly how the wasteful spending will end in washington, by electing leaders like Governor Palin. It is as real as it gets!
  6. For americans who wonder whether anyone will draw attention to Obama's lack of accomplishments and snobbery for the small town americans who are the back bone of our economy and military, they got their answer last night.
My fellow americans, in a McCain-Palin administration we will preserve our american dignity and pride because we will have two americans who have 'always' been proud of this country. One who is an expert on foreign policy, and one who knows how to manage domestic issues for the everyday american e.g., find solutions to energy independence.
 
The choice has been made clear this election, one team of two people who have executive experience and one team with two people who have never made any executive decision their entire life. The rheteric is  fading into the reality of Governor Palin's life story. Governor Palin has changed the converstaion of this race to become about trust for our leaders and trust of the american people (i.e. small town americans), and not about the Bush administration.
 
The world will see america at it's best with a McCain-Palin ticket. And as Biden expessed today 'she is impressive!'. This is the type of leader Americans can be proud to call Madame Vice President! And when the lights are turned off, we will all agree with Governor Palin that 'the presidency is not a personal discovery journey' and we need a man who uses 'his career to make change' not one who 'uses change to make a career'. We can all agree that 'small town americans' are not angry, bitter or frustrated because as Governor Sarah has demonstrated 'she is small town gal who loves her family, faith and country!'.
 
Let's give the world a leader who makes us proud to be american instead of a leader who makes us apologetic to be american. Let american pride reign from sea to shinning sea by giving McCain and Palin the opportunity to represent we the people with pride and dignity at home and abroad 'in good times and in bad times'. Let us pick the team whose combined executive experience will bring reform to washington and keep us safe. Let us show courage and not fear being called racist because we decided to elect the McCain-Palin ticket. Let freedom reign and God Bless America!

Governor Palin Poised To Shutter Glass Ceiling

Posted by Patriotic Woman on Saturday, August 30, 2008 2:15:24 PM
Will americans choose to break the glass ceiling with a Mayor turned Governor or with a Community Organizer turned Senator? 
McCain's decision to pick Governor Palin as his running mate has truly reminded me why I migrated to the United States from Kenya 17 years ago and why I decided to become engaged in public service. The effort to minimize Governor Palin's accomplishments by referring to her as mayor of a small town or beauty queen is desperate, disappointing, and it will not work with american voters. The glass ceiling will be easier to shatter with an elected mayor turned governor than with a senator turned DNC's hand picked nominee.
 
Governor Palin has made multiple executive decisions and Obama has never had the opportunity to make any executive decisions as a community organizer or senator. The Governor has already accomplished in Alaska what Obama ‘hopes’ to do if he is elected (i.e., she has stood up to the big oil companies, improved education and given some money back to the people to subsidize gas prices).

3.       Governor Palin's position on abortion demonstrates she walks her talk. Her respect for life was exemplified when she chose to give birth to her special needs child. According to Obama unplanned pregnancies are ‘mistakes’ that women should not be burdened with. And if an infant manages to live through a third term abortion, the doctor should not be burdened with reviving the infant. His vote against the Infant Protection Act was disturbing. He was the only senator to vote against a doctor reviving an infant who is 23 weeks old and has survived an abortion. Obama is also on record saying 'i don't want my daughter's punished with a baby'. Most pregnancies are not planned because we can't plan all the events of life. Let me say this ‘we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal’. That infant who survives an abortion at 23 weeks is included in this belief and protection. The dignity of life is the American philosophy that ended slavery, and gave both blacks and women the right to vote. Obama's disdain for life is not what americans need in the executive branch.

4.       Questioning Governor’s Palin’s intellect and ability to lead is a desperate measure on the opposition's part. This is a woman who has balanced career and family. She rose to power without an Ivy League law degree or the backing of Ayers, Rezko and Wright. Governor Palin has demonstrated the type of fiscal responsibility that Obama can only give speeches about. She fired the staff in the governor’s mansion and asked her kids to live ‘normal lives’. Obama did not think the Bronco's stadium was big enough for his ego and used a tax-subsidized event to re-build the stadium into a Greek god venue. This is not the wasteful spending we need in the executive branch. We need the practical everyday living approach that Governor Palin brings to the executive branch. 

6.      For the past 2 years, americans have been listening to Michelle Obama whine that ‘life is too hard for working mothers because they have to raise kids and go to work’ and that 'they keep moving the bar' making it very difficult to succeed. It is refreshing to have a woman with five kids (one who has special needs) smiling her way into shattering the glass ceiling without complaining or playing the victim card! She is also a pilot, hunter, fisherwoman, and beauty queen. She has earned the right to shatter that glass ceiling and we the people ought to give her this privilege.

Governor Palin, exemplifies a woman’s right to choose life, career, family and  public service. She has done so without playing the victim of circumstances and without an Ivy league law degree. She is what Americans need today in the executive branch because she connects with mother's of young soldiers being deployed to Iraq like her son, mother's of special needs children who want to maximize their children's potential, and the 70% of working women  who are  balancing career and family everyday. Sarah Palin is a leader who understands what it is like to live the every day american life. She is the every day american who will represent our priorities in the executive branch.
For those who are doubting Governor Palin's ability to lead this country in the event McCain can't serve, I say to you, Governor Palin has made multiple executive decisions running a city and a state while Barak Obama has never made any executive decisions. As Vice President, she will start her work with some executive experience. As President Obama would need a crash course on executive decision making. I trust my fellow americans will use sound judgement to shatter the glass ceiling with a Governor who has demonstrated the change Obama talks about everyday without a track record to back it up.
 
Finally, we the people, no longer have to dream, because the dream has been actualized. Dr. Martin Luther King would be proud to see that his dream about 'all men being created equal' has been actualized by Governor Palin's strong defense of the weak and unborn children (most aborted children are minorities). Governor Palin will shatter the glass celing, and use the pieces to build a stronger america for all ordinary americans who believe their dream can be achieved without an Ivy League College degree or victim mentality. 
 
God Bless America!
