The American people need another option in the next presidential election.

President Obama was elected three years ago on the premise that he would bring about changes needed to create equality in this country. He may have had good intentions but just doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to the pressures of congress or the desire for reelection. He quickly became a pragmatist instead of the visionary we needed.

The current Republican candidates remind me of a herd of hogs that grub the landscape for cash and defecate on what is left. Not one of them inspires confidence. They are blown in any direction by the winds of which ever group they are pandering to at the time. Jon Huntsman is the only Republican candidate that appears to have a lick of sense but he has yet to prove that he will choose a correct course for this country.

Since third parties have a history of doing poorly in national elections our best hope is that one or the other party will draft an intellectual, strong willed patriot. Since time is short in this cycle, the American people need to make it clear that they will not support any of the current candidates. Someone needs to step up and bring back some sanity to the process of governance. Delegates to the national conventions need to withhold their votes and demand better candidates.

The majority must protect themselves from the greed of the few. This means we must demand a fair opportunity to live the American Dream. Every American should have access to a living wage, healthcare and the necessities of life. The “I want” generation needs to become the “I will” generation.
