Giving the power back to the peopleWritten by Voterman
Voterman- defender of just uniter of people, together with Voterpowerusa.com will be fighting to take back government from corporate lobbyists, special interest groups, and dishonest politicians. Too many labels divide our voting power. What labels? Party affiliation, class, race, sex, age, and religion. “If 100 million plus Americans voted together by focusing on major issues, at one specific place, they would get what they needed. Congress would have no choice but to give people what they demanded, or they’d be out of a job just like in real world. How else are Americans going to get what they need unless they vote together?” Voterpowerusa.com will unite Americans by providing them with a voting-based website where all citizens can vote together on big issues that affect their daily lives. I encourage Americans to vote together, to get what they need and deserve from their government, regardless of labels that continue to divide us. Americans can choose their next president based on one major issue. That issue is an affordable national healthcare and prescription
| | Conservatives Should Consider The Libertarian PartyWritten by Jean Fritz
The late Ronald Reagan embodied soul of classic liberalism – that’s right, Reagan was a liberal. His unbridled optimism and faith in power of individual to live his or her life independently, solve problems, and function as a contributing member of society, and his determination to expand cause of freedom restrained only by morality are hallmarks of what term “liberal” actually means. However, just as socialists usurped term “liberal” and transformed its meaning to designate a person or party which supports larger, more intrusive government as a mechanism for peace and “prosperity”, Reagan utilized philosophical underpinnings of classic liberalism to form today’s conservative movement.Since Reagan, many Republican politicians have donned “conservative” mantle without an understanding of what wearing that title entails. As a result, both federal and state governments have grown larger, require more of your tax money to exist, and created more cavernous deficits. Even our current president struggles to maintain interest of a conservative base while creating his newest entitlement program which expands fiscal black hole known as Medicare. Just as Democratic Party abandoned Ronald Reagan, Republican Party appears to have abandoned conservatives. Social and fiscal conservatives do have a viable alternative, and that is Libertarian Party. Libertarianism was initially a reaction against Soviet rule in Russia and eastern Europe, but as our own government grows increasingly more intrusive, more expensive and less effective in its originally defined jobs (defense and law enforcement), Libertarians have discovered a rising popularity in our own country. Libertarians believe that all power begins with individual and flows up, rather than flowing from top down. They understand that defense and law enforcement are best done on a collective basis, and support a strong, well-trained and well-funded military, as well as checks and balances we have today in our criminal justice system. However, they do not believe that FEDERAL government should be responsible for allocating state funds for education, funding for roads based upon state’s “drunk driving” standards, or feeding, housing, clothing and medicating every man, woman and child comprising loudest voting block during an election year.
