Where Has Our Fight Gone?

I ask that question because I need to know. Where is it? We have been in a war that is so hated in the country for the last almost six years, and yet there's no fight. Mass injustices happen daily in America and around the world, and we do nothing. When did we stop standing up for what is kind and decent? When did we stop taking care of our own and only ourselves. I don't have much, but I would kindly share and give to others. I would gladly stand up for those that have no voice and say that we must protect them. I don't know what I can do to make change, but I have to do something. I can't sit by any longer and let this world happen to others like it doesn't matter. I have to stop people hurting and destroying our planet, I have to stop people from exploiting children, and I need to believe in my government and country again. I need to know the real reason my husband is going to Iraq. I don't know why he's going except for "it's his job"...well fuck that! There are so many things that we can do, and I am going to start doing more than I already do. I'm going to fight for those who cannot fight any longer.

On Tuesday a man who can make great change, and give hope back to the hopeless could be our next president. I can't wait for that to happen. There is nothing wrong with taking care of your own people. We can be the world's police again, when we take care of our people at home. That's how it's supposed to be.
