Yes, greed is not good. No, not all americans are greedy. I was born in1926, listened to FDR on the radio constantlly while he brought us out of the Depression. I have many moments when I reflect on memories. Stood in line for sugar, flour, sack dresses, silk stockings, and shoes which were rationed. It was l939 or maybe early forties before things were back in supply. Then WW11 came along. Most of the boys in my senior class went into the service. Think my graduating class had 80 girls and 12 boys. Two of my crushes in high school never came back.

I write this because I am not alone, the majority of people I have met in life have been on the same road. They are Americans. My mother loved America and never wanted to go back to Europe even for a visit. Hopefully we will get our thinking straight and we Americans will police the greedy again. Maybe we had to go through tough times do realize we are suffering from inaction, and need to watch our leaders more closely by what they do and not by what they say.

Looks like Benton opposes health care reform and
is oblivious to man-made forces that are affecting climate
change. The people have had enough of this
nonsense ! Let’s put people to work using green
technology and foster more good jobs in Clark County –
not more empty rhetoric and the disastrous voting
record of Don Benton.

After a horrible week in the stock market, this reads like prophesy. I even had to check the date to confirm it had not just been posted.

Enough is enough. Since I retired from the military and have seen many of my benefits cut, I have to be grateful for a job and one with benefits. I one time read, “How do you give a man dignity”, YOU GIVE HIM A JOB. This is what we need most right now with a failing economy. Jobs will bring growth. I hope we can get more people in office with a vision of tomorrow. David did a great job on the issues.

Spot on. The one thing we do need to do, collectively, is to become aware of the issues at hand. David does a great job at highlighting the issues in this blog: tax cuts do not help a sick economy, health care, energy, and protecting worker rights and creating more local jobs.

I am seeing families all across this area starting to feel the pinch of the economy slowing down–mine included. Having a responsible person in office, like David, is what we need. Additionally, having someone who knows what he is talking about and has actually spent a great deal of his life helping the least of us is a great change to the status quo.
