Schemes, schemes, schemes!

There is a lot of noise out there.

There are a lot of issues.

There are plenty who want you to believe them.

There is a lot to be said.

There are a lot of questions to be answered.

Promises made.

And yet, everything seems to be the same.

The economy is an issue.

The cost of gas is an issue.

The cost of food is up.

The cost of everything is up.

The battle of the budget is in full effect.

And yet, we are spending over $500 million each day for a war.

Those who are rich are getting richer.

Those in the middle class are struggling.

The majority of people are struggling financially.

Public education is under attack.

Public money is being used for private schools.

The cost of college is skyrocketing.

The programs available are being cut.

A lot is being said about healthcare.

A number of medical facilities have gone under in this state.

Doctors are in scandals.

Hate related crimes are increasing.

Bigots with attitudes are expressing themselves more frequently.

Workers rights are not being protected.

Those in power want to maintain power while changing the rules.

As we get ready to vote this election season let’s do our part to make our needs known to those who are promising to legislatively take care of them.  Let’s do our part by holding them accountable to do the job we vote them in for.  Let’s expect more by showing up more to the meetings that affect our lives.
