A president may desire to initiate many changes but it is our Congress
that ultimately decides whether our country goes to war, improves health
care, does something about immigration or saves social security. The
presidential election gets plenty of media attention but the most
important vote you cast may be for your state senator. Democrats and
Republicans most work together for the common good of our country rather
than engage in politricks.
If you are unhappy with the direction of our country and really advocate
change please vote in your state congressional elections. *
