Time for a Change

Birthdays are always wonderful times to reflect on the years behind and the years ahead. It is on our nation's 230th birthday that the nation must look deep into its soul and see where we are headed for the next 230 years. The current political atmosphere in our nation's capitol has done one of two things. It has either polarized Americans into camps of left or right, political or liberal; or it has repulsed Americans from their civic responsibility of citizen participation.

Any film buff can easily list the number of films in which a lone individual wades into a town divided by two warring parties, plays them off each other and walks away victorious. It is in this spirit that a third party needs to arise from the partisanship crippling our society today, pull moderates away from both camps and victoriously elect competent people to restore the integrity and effectiveness of our national government.
