What America needs is to take responsibility for the mess that has been created by just taking things for granted in general?   We paid no attention to the things being done by our elected officials.  

 Americans no matter rich or middle class people just go with the flow as long as they have their televisions, food on the table, all the conveniences they think they need.  It is a sad state of affairs to say the least.

 Americans for the most part, not all, have become complacent and decided there is nothing they can do and this is a terribly wrong conception. 

 Let’s blame it on the political parties, well we the people who vote for our representatives to the government have paid no attention to the spiral this country has been heading into the last twenty years or more.  None of this happened over night.  

 People are pissed off and they should be!  With access to computers and the internet there is no reason we cannot communicate to our government and if you don’t have the ability or access then get out the old pen and paper and write to your representatives.   Find a friend who has internet access and typing abilities, work together to give our government notice.

 What does America need?   They need to take back their country and not let it be run by big monies and large corporations.   They need to take an interest in their environment and all the destruction taking place in the name of progress.   America needs to get off their lazy behinds for the most part and make a difference.   Speak up.  Write to your representatives in both the House and Congress.   Our government has out of sight salaries to do what, spend your money?  The majority of them show up and vote for whatever benefits their state or pockets? Quit wasting things and replacing them with new items.   Why not try to repair them? Bring jobs back to the US.  Develop community projects to benefit everyone.

 One individual is not going to make a difference no matter what political party they represent, they are not miracle workers it takes a team effort to accomplish anything!

 What America needs is to bind together, pound your representatives with emails, letters, let your voices be heard and get off your butt and fight for what belongs to all the people, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and it will never happen if you depend on others, let the environment become a wasteland and just sit in your chair and change the channel.

 We can make these changes if we try and work together!
