One Week Away

The election is a week away, but already people are going to the polls early to vote. I myself am going tomorrow morning, and still don't know exactly what choice to make. Both are going to be wrong for the nation, and with the electoral college in place there will always be just two parties with any chance of success. Neither candidate will live up to all their hype or promises, so I will probably end up voting for a 3rd party candidate because I find it to be the morally correct thing to do. 

As crazy as it seems, my idea would be to re-evaluate our current government. I think the only way to change America is to get rid of the executive branch, along with the House of Representatives. Our country would be run by the senate, with each state having equal say it what goes on in America. There would be no electoral college, with the popular vote deciding who will represent our best interests. We also have to get the lobbyists out of Washington. They control everything that goes on with our legislature, from cell phones to marijuana. 

Most importantly, I don't agree with the bailout. AIG executives spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on vacations after the bailout passed, instead of using that money to fix their current situation. They should fail. They brought it on themselves, and now have to face the consequences. If we were to skip our mortgage payments to go to disney world, there would be dire consequences. 

Everyone should get out and vote. Vote for whoever you think can best help America. Don't let anyone else decide for you, and don't jump on a bandwagon because of who your friends are. Don't automatically associate yourself with a certain party because its members all claim to share the same beliefs, pick the person. No two politicians are the same, no matter which convention they attended.  It's the only way to fix this mess.
