My fellow Americans, men and women of all Parties and persuasions. [View all]

It is time to look into our hearts and decide what kind of country we want to be?

It is time to examine our souls and decide what direction we want to go?

It is not about the economy, the stock market, personal wealth or comfort.

It is about decency, compassion, brotherhood, and better lives for our children and grandchildren. It is about making the world a better place than we found it.

It is not about political Parties or political leaders. It is about our fellowmen. We cannot survive in a world, isolated within our own desires.

We must not promote those that seek to tear down and divide our country. We must unite behind the common good. We should not support those that tear at the fabric that our forefathers and mothers have created. We should defend it with every breath of our being.

Let us unite as Americans. Let us build up that which has been passed to us. Let us not follow the siren song of partisanship and division.

Let us protect the precious freedom we have been granted.

(This is the message I wish to hear from our Democratic candidates)
