There doesn't seem to be any question that we have lost faith in "our" federal government. Recent polls show that less than 15% of the American people agree that Congress demonstrates any concern for the well-being of our country. What does it take to make those who have been elected and are receiving their "pay checks" from "we the people" to understand that they have a moral obligation to "serve" the people. They were not elected to "RULE" the people. There has to be someone in this great country intelligent enough and motivated enough to mount a movement that brings us back to our senses. We need a true "statesman" with the foresight and fortitude of just one of our "founding fathers" to lead us out of this downward spiral. I would like to challenge every member of the forum to read the book "America The Beautiful" written by Dr. Benjamin Carson, Neurosurgeon, and Head of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was the keynote speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this spring. If you haven't seen the video of his speech, you will find his 27 minute speech to be both educational and entertaining. By the way, he is a black man, and I would not hesitate to vote for him for President. By the way, I am an elderly white American, born in Alabama, served 20 years in the Air Force, and I am not a racist as most of us Alabamians are typically accused.
