What Our Votes Should Mean
Think about it!
I find that our democracy risks falling apart due to the greediness of our so called representatives, who just want to grab power to create a disturbance in our social and political structure.
It is very important for us to make our democracy strong. It can only happen when citizens understand the meaning of democracy.They need to vote in our represented democracy in every local state and primary election. Let no representative take away their power to vote or voice their opinions regarding the policies which impact them.
In my view, everyone should follow the rule of law. Constitution clauses must be applied equally to all citizens. Money power should not be able to buy governing power. We, the voters, must have more power in our hands than members of congress or senate.
The three branches of government (Congress, Judiciary and Executive) must work together to create a better society.
The rule of law is important for all. It must help peoples’ right to express their viewpoint and vote freely. The laws should be applied equally, regardless of one’s social or financial status.
We need to know the qualification of the nominees, obtained through many reliable resources. We often hear false promises from some of the nominees of political parties. However, when they get elected to represent the people, they just care selfishly for themselves and their public image.
A return to our history of suppression, discrimination and racism would take the country backwards.
To move forward, we need to help all minority groups to have more opportunities to improve their lives, and succeed in lifting up their standard of living.
The USA is a country of immigrants. We have diverse groups of people in our society. Many among us are poor or homeless and have serious health issues. They lack the means to lift-up their spirits. Some of them are not literate. Our policy makers ignore their right to live with dignity and respect.
I am specially concerned about the gun related deaths and hate-crimes. The right to bear arms for self protection, should not be confused with automatic weapons used during warfare.
Why do we care more for an unborn child in the Mother’s womb, but not for the hundreds of young children dying due to gun violence?
Why don’t the laws and policies give equal protection to all?
My question to representatives is very clear. Are you following two different policies for rich and poor? Why are policies gender based to hurt women? Why don’t we create an inclusive country where our policies and laws are equitable for all?
We need accurate information to help select and elect those who will represent us and who will offer kindness, love and help to all who live in the United States of America.
