Hopeless in America

I think I'm ordinarily a glass-half-full kind of person, by my frustration continues to grow. We are in crisis, our homes are over mortgaged, there are no jobs or crappy jobs, our healthcare system is dominated by greed... Need I go on?

Yet, our Congress does NOTHING but try to block our duly elected President, vote on Affordable Care do the upteenth time and investigate bullshit scandals!

How do we tell these people to get to work? How do we grease the wheels for President Obama's last 3 years in office?

Please, some hope?

and even senator but the sad thing is they are republicans. They just don't care for the working people. The only solution is we must get the vote out in 2014 and the future. We have the power so lets not give it to the republicans.

If you want to see change get rid of the people in Office now and do not replace them with people just like them.
