I really do try not to take things too seriously or get extremely opinionated. I do have an opinion on a lot of issues but most of them I don’t care to discuss. However, being that tomorrow we vote, I figured I would express my opinion on that. I have never really been a person that was interested in politics. I think that the ads that run are just backstabbing allowing one to feel better about him/her self by cutting others down. Why would a person that is running for an office want to place an opponents name in their ad? In my opinion, I would rather hear more about how they plan on improving the issues that need to be addressed and less about how they are so much better than the other person. The smear campaign just puts a sour taste in my mouth. A candidate should want to get their GOOD name in front of the public and not keep advertising their opponent’s name. Since I do not follow politics closely but I do vote, I go there knowing who I don’t want to cast my vote for by what I have heard them say about others through ads. I think there is a proper way to promote ones self and that is not it.

In the presidential campaigns, I would be more inclined to listen to a candidate that would address the issue of illegal immigrants in the United States. I think we need to make the laws stricter where this is concerned. We need to find a way to make them earn their right to live in this great country and stop crossing the border illegally. They need to learn how to speak OUR language (ENGLISH). I am so irritated when I go into a store and feel like I am in a foreign country because I can not read the labels. Right here, in MY country! I am not being hateful towards them but I do think they need to earn the right to live here. Why are we bending over backwards to please these illegal’s? Why do we worry about making sure they are cared for? I saw an email today stating the one of the reasons was “cheap labor”. I disagree with this 100%. I believe that in the long run they end up wasting OUR tax dollars. This is my stand on it: if you want to live here, learn to speak our language and learn about our country and come into the United States legally!
GOD BLESS AMERICA - LAND THAT I LOVE!!

Very thoughtful and American view of a subject that is becoming more and more politically viewed by people; rather than rationally. I applaud your symbolism and your ability to point out things without really being over the top. What is happening to America has happened to most of Europe with other... nationalities taking over major blocks of political power. Thanks for a refreshing view and keep up the Proud to Be an American Theme.

Sincerely,
An American
