For Sale to the Highest Bidder

Just look today at the amount of dollars pouring into campaigns; Obama with 32.5 million, Hillary Clinton with 27 million and Edwards with 9 million. A grand total for just the three of them at an amazing 68.5 million. And this is just for the second quarter of 2007. Just imagine how much money will be spent on the 2008 election in total.

Which leads to the question; “Is the office of the President for sale?” Of course it is, to the highest bidder. In the case of Clinton and Obama, trial lawyer and Hollywood money just keeps rolling in. So where will their decisions rest if they become President? You know exactly where they will be. And as they scream for Health care reform, the amount of money they are begging for and hold right now could supply premium health insurance for about 10,000 people. Why aren’t they out raising funds to truly help America? Why is it they are only raising capital for their own egos.

As Hillary, Barack, Edwards and Michael Moore scream we need health care reform, they are just lining their own pockets with the proceeds of that political rhetoric. Why isn’t Moore out their finding money for the uninsured until there can be changes in the system? Why isn’t Hillary asking the trial lawyers for money to give to the poor for health care? As usual, it is all talk and no action.

As Americans we have had enough, and we need to find a leader to truly lead this country and not whine at every opportunity. Someone who will put his or her mouth where their heart and ideals truly are. If you are out there, please stand up and say – ME! Or better yet, we as Americans need to find that person we respect the most and ask them to run.

Now is the time we act as “We the People” and take back control of our country.
