I believe Barack Obama touched on a nerve, and now the "powers-that-be," both Republican and Democrat, are trying to stop the pain before it makes voters do something crazy, like vote for people who actually will listen to them. These bitter people live in urban, suburban, farming, and other communities besides "small towns" all over the United States of America. I am one of them, and I'm am praying that all of these people will vote for the person they believe is the most likely to listen to them. However, "we the people" need to remember that our vote is not enough. We vote for the person we believe will represent the real people of the USA, not the "corporate person," whatever that is. Then, we must stay on the backs of our officials, reminding them constantly and unabashedly of their promises to us. Write letters, make phone calls, get on the blogs, and take peacefully to the streets to keep our wants and needs on their minds. Please--all those who are bitter, vote and join me. Peace.
