ONE PICTURE AND ONE NAPKIN

Below is a partial list of national issues that have ganged up on America in the past few years.  They are all related and interconnected.  Individually and collectively they challenge America.  They belong to each of us as individual voters, and to all of us as a nation.

As our next voting opportunity soon approaches, we need to find public servants and leaders who are willing to take them up as opportunities that continue to take the American success story forward into the future.  While everyone who we elect won’t agree on how to solve each individual challenge, everyone should at least carry the same list on their “napkin.”  Everyone should approach their leadership opportunity as a chance to show how they think these issues interlock, and how they can do their part in keeping America’s future bright.

The biggest challenge America faces today is that not even one leader from the top to the bottom of the ladder has all of these are their napkin. 

How would things be different now in the world order and in America if our leaders in Congress and the Executive Branch had and were all carrying this same list on their “napkins?”  What if they worked for the good of their communities and for America using the principle that says, “If I take care of my brother and sister, then I will be well cared for.”  This principle certainly doesn’t reflect current reality, but it could.

Here’s the list:

• Bombed Syria immediately after confirming they had used chemical weapons?
• Organized a special select committee to investigate Benghazi as soon as it had happened?
• Compromised toward consensus with Obamacare?
• Deployed the missile shield as planned in Poland?
• Funded NASA enough to keep an independent astronaut launch capacity?  Let’s not forget that our trip to the moon gave us our current life.
• Find consensus on the gun issue consistent with the 2nd Amendment and the need to protect our citizens?
• Passed consensus legislation that serves our national security, is compassionate in how we treat humans and recognizes that the strength of America is in our new immigrants?
• Thought clarity about the severe NSA intrusion into our privacy rights versus our need for security.
• Natural gas development.
• Keystone pipeline construction.
• National debt.
• Balanced budget.
• Middle east peace.
• Iran nukes.
• Middle East democracies and despots.
• Liberty and opportunity.
• Campaign finance.
• The IRS scandal.
• The Veteran Affairs health care scandal.

If we all vote and use the Voting Alert Beacons, we can restore common  sense to our government, we can thank and say goodbye to the politicians forever, and welcome a new cast of public servants and leaders.

Spread the word!  Tell your friends about the Voting Alert Beacons!

. . .  remember that America’s best days aren’t behind her.   America’s best days are ahead of her.  They always have been and always will be.
