Dear Charlotte,
Okay, so listen to this. It's incredible - people don't even know what they're voting for. What is wrong with our country?

What You Can Do To Prepare
The third letter from Glenn Beck is a call for action and a return to the values our grandparents espoused. It is, at least to me, inspiring. Read it and then do something about it.

Where We Are Going
Dear Charlotte,
Here is the second in a series of 3 letters Glenn Beck has written concerning the state of our country (the first being shared in my previous post). If you'd like to know where we're headed, here is one idea, and a very sound, unbiased one if I do say so myself.

A Mess
Dear Charlotte,
As I'm sure you know, this country and the world are in a major financial upheaval. I've not really understood what is going on, except that it has a lot to do with subprime mortgages and execs getting multi-million dollar bonuses. Here is an article that describes exactly how we got where we are today. It is the best explanation I have found. So read it. And then tell your friends and families to read it. I think that in order to fix our current problems, we need to be informed about what they are and how we got here. And I'm telling you now, it ain't the folks in Washington and on Wall Street who made this mess that are going to get us out of it. Just in case you didn't click on that first link, here it is again. Now you have no excuse. Be informed. Make a choice. Vote for honest people (if you can find any). And prepare for the future.

A Good Reason to Proofread...
In a political opinion article I was reading, I found this:
And Obama, who opted not to take pubic financing as McCain did, is struggling to raise the cash he needs through massive, and increasingly distracting fund-raising efforts.
Um, I think I would have opted out like Obama. How embarrasing.

Oy Vey! Politics!
Dear Charlotte,
It's a presidential election year (as I'm sure you well know), and thus far I've been rather underwelmed by the prospects. I'm not so much a party-follower (surprise, surprise). When I look for who I want to represent me, I look for someone with integrity - someone who is honest, hardworking, smart, and willing to challenge the status quo of politics today. Neither Maverick McCain nor The Chosen Obama fits my criteria. But today, oh today, I finally found some hope for our country - Sarah Palin.
From what I've learned of this amazing woman in the last few hours since she was announced as McCain's running mate, THIS is the kind of person we need in the Whitehouse. She doesn't play the political games. She is honest. She does what needs to be done. It doesn't even bother me that she hasn't spent any time "in Washington." In fact, to me, it's a plus. She eliminated Alaska's debt, provided a surplus in the state budget, and cut political spending - including her OWN salary. It's said that, in the end, VP choices don't make much of a difference in presidential elections, except this year I think it will because McCain and Obama are both putzes who will do what they're told to do in Washington. And Biden hasn't lived in the real world since the 70s! Palin, not so much. It's too bad she's not running for president. Really.
