Leadership in America

America is a land composed of many people that come from many different lands with a variety of views and persuasions. That we embrace all people here is indicative of the spirit of America. That position and that tolerance of all people is what has also made America great.

Today we weep over the conditions in America. Those of wealth and position seem to seek to trample on those of lesser achievement and wealth. The wealth that seems to be most highly prized is simple money and values and traditions have been discarded, not by all but by some. Apparantly, some of those more fortunate are seeking positions of leadership in America and seek to trample further on the people enduring the plight of modern times. Those most vulnerable and those that are suffering under the conditions of politics and the economy.

America came into being and was forged as a nation under the oppression of some many years ago. There are those in these times that fashion themselves as kings who seek to impose a similar oppression upon the people. This is not acceptable nor is it fair or in the spirit of America. One cannot say that they love America while trampling upon other Americans.

It is now that we must seek out and find true leaders to continue the traditions and greatness that has made America what she is. Not to cut away the support systems that keep people healthy, with food on their tables, with medicines to keep them healthy, and for the support of those of lesser means and abilities that are struggling through hard times. To be a leader is to lead all and not just the chosen few. That is against every principle America represents.

To find leaders that consistently and sincerely care for and respect all Americans of every caliber and position. This we must do today.
