APPLES CALL FOR CHANGE

You want CHANGE? I'll give you CHANGE!

With the rancor now on display in America during this election cycle, it's dawned on me that I haven't heard much if any talk about a historic factor at play in this election.

To go along with the first Afro - American candidate, and the second female candidate, we also have an election that for the first time in a generation (30 years) the sitting Vice President did not make a run at the Oval Office.

The point? Since historically the VP is a heartbeat or an election cycle away from being President, we need to look at the two VP candidates as if they are going to be a future President of our country.

As we know, Barack Obama has been running for President for the last 6 years which makes him just another politician. He has plotted his course along the way with his ultimate goal of becoming President. Is he in this for America or is he in it for himself?

Joe Biden and John McCain are both career politicians who do nothing but exemplify the reasons for gridlock and bitterness that has permeated our country for the last 10 plus years.

You want CHANGE? Then let's go all the way! Let us go out into the wilderness and find someone who HASN'T been seeking the job of President their entire career and tell them that OUR country is now seeking them.

Sarah Palin is the only one of the four candidates who isn't a professional politician. She embodies what it meant to have Mr. (Mrs.) Smith go to Washington.

America's window of opportunity for CHANGE is now open, it is time to turn our country around and put an end to the same ole, same ole politics that both republicans and democrats have used to wallow around in like pigs at a trough over the years.

So if you want CHANGE, ( hold your nose if you must ) and vote McCain - Palin. By doing so, you will say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and you will be telling 3 of the 4 candidates that "We The People" are taking our country back. It's time to tell Biden, McCain and Obama that being a career politician is no longer to be a career path of choice.

Let's bring back to life the words of John F. Kennedy and "Pass the torch on to a new generation of Americans."

How bout them Apples!

TODAY

Today we are a country in the middle of a presidential election. An election in which for the first time in 20 years our next president will not be named Bush or Clinton.

Today we are a country in harmony and disarray. Joined together by the bond of freedom that is soul of America, while at the same time being torn apart by the differences that freedom allows one and all.

Today we are a country split between right and left, liberal and conservative, republican and democrat, rich and poor. We are split between the laws of GOD and the laws of man.

Today we are a country that can begin to see Martin Luther King's dream. We see our founding fathers were right when they wrote we are all created equal.

Today we are a country that cherishes our freedom of speech, I don't have to agree with you but I will fight till the death to defend your rights to say it.

Today, and if only for Today, let us put aside our difference and remember, We are all Americans.
