Our president, to please the big corporations that help finance his re-election, has increased the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere regardless of our health.

To please the rich, his tax cuts have given them a large tax break and has given the middle-class a miserly dollar amount.

In Iraq, the bombs are exploding every day, killing those people by the thousands, and the large cities are still insecure.

The economy is a disaster and whoever becomes president, the money we owe will be hard to pay off. The vice president has a poor health record and hardly capable of filling presidential shoes. John Edwards, a young senator, vigorous and smart, has the potential to become our president in some years to come.

The light in the tunnel is very dim in our future. So many goods we buy are made overseas and our buying power depends on too much credit, no longer cash.
