I"ve got one for you, If you could be president what would be the first thing you'd change?

Speaking for my self I would choose to have common everyday people in the house of representatives, and congress. Your down to earth blue collar workers, and farmers, As they I feel know the true needs of the people, and then just set down and discuss the best way to fix things in our country. Putting elderly care first and formost at the top of the list. Raising the pay scale for those who work in the nursing home faucilities, as they have a hard job, because our senior citizens deserve the best care they can recieve. I would make sure our nursing homes recieved the equipment, and supplies they need to offer the best care possible to those in their final years.

Next I would make sure our school systems had the needed funds to offer our children the best education available.

I would also look into ulternative energy and fuel sources promote clean air, step up recycling and preserve our natural forest, parks, and lakes for future generations. And not just talk about it, but make it happen.

I would put a cap on fuel prices and get rid of the gas tax completely. Get to work repairing our highways and city streets, put people back to work. Empty buisnesses that are setting vacant I would turn these into homeless shelters and get people in out of the cold. Have soup kitchens within the shelters and offer the homeless jobs as well within these shelters.

I would also lower automobile prices to where your not having to pay a second morgage just to have a car to get you to work everyday. I would put a cap on the amount of rent a landlord could collect off a couple or single person. Until the economy emproves. Lower utility bills, and make it easier for people to own affordable homes. By lowering high interst rates and finance charges on home loans. These are just a few of the things I'd strive to get done. And bring our service men and women home. Tell other countrys they're going to have to take care of their own problems, and turn our attention to our countrys needs.

Another tid bit to think about, just because alot of these politicians are wealthy and have the money to buy and bribe supporters, doesn't make them any more qualified for the job then a common farmer or blue collar worker. You'd be amazed at what the average farmer knows about the workings of government, they know enough to see that people in certain income brackets make out better then those who are not. As they say, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But it's our blood sweat and tears that make them richer, as they keep finding ways of screwing over the middle or lower class. Let one of their parents see what it's like to have to choose between having the medication you need to stay alive or eat, but not have enough for both!
