Change can be both positive and negative. Contrary to what some may believe, women do not think the same as men. African-Americans have their own personal passions and values as any other group of Americans. Everyone would agree that their is a vast difference of beliefs among the various religions in this country.

Saying all of that, I also believe that anyone who wishes to serve the people in this country can be a great leader, in spite of their gender, race, or religious beliefs. Unfortunately, most are running for president for what's in it for themselves. For some its merely the thrill of power.

Less than half of Americans believe that a woman has a right to kill her unborn infant, while the rest believe in the right of a baby to live. So why do these clinics continue to operate? Too many Americans are not covered by medical insurance. The middle class are footing the bill for everything under the sun. Insurance companies are allowed to rip us off, and tobacco companies kill off their customers while targeting younger ones. All of this under the nose of Congress.

Why should we elect a senator to be the leader of our country? What have they ever done for this country? They had their try at doing what's best for the American people and failed big time. Placing one of them in the White House would obviously be a huge mistake.

Please find me a person who respects life, young and old and doesn't need nor want payoffs from interest groups. Is their a candidate who doesn't seek laws that cater to one group of people. We have enough laws already in place to cover all the crimes that are committed except that a few senators can't see butchering babies as murder in the first degree.

America is ready for betterment. A different Congress could do a lot to enhance the life of all Americans. We need a president with a constructive mindset rather than a destructive one, regardless of the body they live in.
