A path to our future

I think most of us want to make things better for our families, and maybe at the same time, our nation. Now just how we do all this is for our vote, and most want to vote after going through their busy lives at all levels. Most trust their governments to do their bit, but if ever there is a loss of trust and faith in their governments, then things may change, I think. And governments are all levels, collectively, federal, state, county, city, and school board.

And the voters can change their elected American politicians, if they want to.

Less if even Americans denigrate things like local school boards, consider that the Gwinnett County School Board (in the Atlanta area) had a $1.4 billion dollar budget this year. This is big time I think, and hopefully some of the populace can influence the action. Who else should influence the action, by the way. After all it is our kids, and our future.

Now we seem to have light weight types who want to use their federal elections to rule us Americans in their vision. Is that what we want? I don’t think so. We have better ways to improve our families and ways of life.

In the meantime, the status quo is not too bad. After all, our ancestors (and their elected representatives) also worked for the same goals.

Let’s vote.
