There's a First for Everything..

Man, it is dark for 8am. I am having a harder time getting used to the end of daylight savings.. It makes it easier to be awake everyday when there is some kind of sunshine when the kids wake up in the morning. Oh well.

Anyway, I wanted to write a little bit about the upcoming Presidential elections. If you have known me for awhile (i.e family), I am not a political person. I have never voted nor registered to vote in my entire 6 years of being able to. Being that it is my given right , I guess I could have taken the liberty to actually do it.. I have never felt a push to vote for anyone because all of the past candidates never felt like the right person. I do not orient myself any political standpoint, being more of whoever catches my eye. Splitting the people into political groups/views just leaves the people disconnected when we should be one. Sounding like a daydream, I suppose, but I am where I am. However, for the 2012 elections, I have decided to vote.

In 2007, Michael and I stumbled upon the first of three Zeitgeist movies and opened our eyes to what goes on behind the "scenes" of the U.S government, the Fed, etc etc. There is too much to even begin to write about it right now. It could take up ALOT of room. Anyways, I started to get into the truth and history of where the dollar comes from, the debt of the U.S, inflation, deflation, credit bubbles, bailouts...etc. Can't say I am an expert in these topics but more about it now than I did for the first 20 years of my life. The past 3 years or so it has been a big topic in my household (mostly being that the hubs-to-be makes a living from the Forex). Everyday I somehow look at the money issues this country has and how there has been no stable and affective plan to change anything. Michael comes across information on a daily basis that only adds to instability of this debt. It's scary.. if things don't change, the American people will end up worse off than the Great Depression.  .

Before anything, I want to talk about Obama. Sticky, sticky subject for some. Obama has ALOT of supporters... but there was no way I was going to be fooled by his very attractive campaign in 2008/2009. The first thing that turned me off (so to say) was how he and his family were turned into celebrities! The president is supposed to stand for the American people, not become the man on the television that the people admire from afar. I am not saying that I don't like movies, television actors and such. But when a presidential candidate, his wife and children show up on a People magazine in such a way where the people are aimed to admire what the wifey was wearing to a recent charity event....... that just seemed super fishy. Secondly, all the promises that was put out there to make himself seem like THE change. Anything to get the people in and vote for him. All of his claims of pulling out troops (yes I know, there is rant after rant of this out there) only to send more troops and increase the amount of american camps in the middle east, as well as at least a dozen other failed promises. I am not aiming to single out Obama,  dont even get me started on George dubbya. Republican, Democrat, they are all the same in the sense that they are politicians and they lie. eh.

So here goes, I am aiming to vote for Ron Paul  for the 2012 elections. Alot of what this man promises are not what the people were initially looking for. Not to appeal and look pretty and sound pretty to the American people. He is aiming to change some of the crumbling foundations of this country. Out of all the candidates running in the 2012 elections, he is the only one with a set and written plan on how to balance the budget and get the U.S out of the snowballing debt that is threatening the American people every day. The people are feeling the pinch, hence the Occupy Movement happening in the country, the biggest being Occupy Wallstreet. Ron Paul also is proposing to audit The Fed. This is a big deal to me and my hubs. I am not going to go on a personal rant as to why this is important to me, I have been learning about the Fed via information online, books ( The Creature from Jekyll Island ) and random information that we have come across. I am not writing to change your mind in whatever you agree and believe in, but rather put out my opinion and leave you do your own research. There is so much information out there, some respectively that have been cross referenced for assurance.

One of the things Ron Paul is proposing to do if he becomes president is cut down the presidential salary to $39k, the same income as a median working American. Ron Paul, who almost didn't run for president this year, is not in it for the money, the fame or the power. He is aiming to make necessary changes that will ultimately benefit the country. Although there are some of changes in U.S spending that I honestly don't like, there is much much more that will do good for this country. I also don't agree with his pro-life standpoint either, but I have to accept that compared to everything else he is standing for, I cant let this one thing throw me off.

Ron Paul has also been receiving a major media blackout compared to all the other people running for president. The people running the T.V are threatened! The gangsters of this country, who control the TV, major newspapers and magazines, they are refusing to give him air time! He is fully aware of this, his campaign page has his money bomb on the main page. He is aiming to get $3M donations in a untelevised money bomb to sort of rub it in their faces that he can still earn the donations without the television. That the fact he has had a media blackout put on him, it wont stop his campaign nor stop the people from supporting him.


Here is my quirky little blog why I am going to vote for the first time this upcoming election. I merely decided to write this because there is alot that I feel about this guy. It's a first for me... it may be the only year I vote. Honestly feel that things will not be the same as what we are used to in the upcoming future. Change is inevitable.Apologies for  my normal scattered, random writing. lol

Here, here to the only blog I may write with a policital influence.
