Do You Have the Time?

You're out there working or not and it doesn't really matter.  Maybe it does, but you're never really sure.
Well, we thought about having the dog write for us under a pen name and voice her opinions on the entire political, social, and economical situation in the United States and it occurred to us that giving the dog artistic license might get us in a heap of trouble!

One of the discussions during our blog meeting was how people are quick to tell Veterans thanks, yet they forget that their rights to life and liberty are not just words in the Constitution, they are rights that military personnel maintain for all American citizens.  We feel humbled.

The question is, do you have the time?  Do you have the time to contact your elected officials and voice your opinion?  Do you have the time to use the freedom of speech right that veterans have defended?  We've searched and found contact information for elected officials.  We have published links on our November Notables page.  Want to honor a vet?  Use your rights.

On a side note, we know that there is nothing worse than prodding someone to do the job that they are paid for.  Management does it all of the time and we hate them for it.  Thanks, management.  We're all happy to have someone to hate and blame!  We're expecting that you will help all of us prod our elected officials along so that they will do the job they are paid for.  In this case, the author was elected to post the blog and as the author holds a management position she will have to take immediate action.  ~off to honor a vet because I'll find the time

The Second Presidential Debate

Another evening of reality television!  This time it was the debate.  I can't say that there was anything that swayed me one way or the other and I admit that I am sitting down to write a blog in place of a diary. 

My first concern about the debate was jobs.  Jobs for Americans that are unemployed, underemployed, graduating from high school, graduating from college, living someplace that they would rather not because their income doesn't fulfill their dreams.  Each candidate has a plan yet we have experienced almost four years of a plan and the results are questionable.  There is still nothing specific.

I am also concerned about the infrastructure.  Not much was said about the infrastructure in America, but it needs improvement.  Improving the infrastructure would add jobs, but we need money to cover the expenses of materials and labor.  The new highway bill, MAP-21, doesn't give a great deal of promise.  Actually, with the provisions for bicycle trails I am concerned about the distance to the grocery store.

Like many others I read the comments my friends posted on facebook.  Healthcare, employment, and defense cuts are mentioned and more than once honesty is questioned.  I wish the candidates would give public schools the credit they deserve.  Americans are well educated and can keep up with current events.  Americans are tough too and we can handle the truth.  Well, maybe not.  My doctor is on the other side of the hill.  I'll need to pedal my bicycle uphill both ways!
