UNITED WE CAN STAND

I believe there is a huge issue at hand in America right now. This issue I am speaking of is the government. I do believe in the original purpose of government but when do we as Americans draw the line? It is hard to just sit back and watch everything I founding fathers worked for get tossed into the fire. I am a proud American and I love what America stands for. Freedom and the chance to strive for better. I just wish America as a whole could stop the constant bickering, especially in Washington D.C. and just work together to help get the United States out of this hole that our greedy politicians have dug us into.

Gun control is a huge topic right now. President Obama is really pushing for America to ban rifles. After the Sandy Hook school shooting happened it made it easy for many to simply say, " Okay time to get rid of the guns." That is simply not the answer though. Yes crimes have been committed with guns in America, but that is not news. When the government takes away America's guns then they will have the control we will have no possible chance to defend ourselves. They would bully us into what ever they feel is the right direction for our country. For all we know that could be a near future of Communism. The sad truth is that everyone has stopped caring, the "baby boomer" generation has left my generation in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

I guess my point of all of this bickering of my own is that people have forgotten that our voices do matter. If we stand up and make our voices heard sooner or later they will have to listen. We as a nation can stand up and push our beloved country in the right direction. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!
