I am afraid for the first time. I actually fear what is ahead.

In my 50 plus years, I have never really been afraid of the future. I have always had a sense of things will be okay. But times have changed. We have are living with the results of a totally inept and incompetent administration that is going to leave us on the edge of bankruptcy.

With the United States on the edge of a financial melt down, the world is also in danger. That can lead to conflicts unseen. The cold war is heating up. Getting ourselves extracted from Iraq and Afghanistan is going to be messy anyway it happens. There is no badda bing ending there.

And this fear inspires me in way I have never been inspired before in an election. It is that important that we take the white house. To put a finger in that dike and start to turn it around.

I am going to speak to two independents. Talk to them as much as they want. Look up any questions they have. I am going to concentrate on two people. I can do that. I can move two people with determination and heart and caring.


I do not want to see a President McCain and Vice President Palin, because they are clueless as to what to do with the mess we have. Fear can be a awesome motivator. And I am motivated.
