By the People For the People

Wow!  Alvin Greene wins a Democratic primary without spending millions and the Democrats are coming unglued.  And if it had been a Republican they would be acting the same way.  Professional politicians will fight to maintain their power base and some upstart who gets elected without a bankroll is a real threat to thier futures.  But I am cheering.  Our country was built on a government by the people and for the people.  We need people, the ones working or trying to work, raising children, retiring, teaching, and dreaming of a future to stand up and express their beliefs by running for office.  And there is no reason, with the social media network, that the face of our congress and senate cannot change to reflect the multifaceted beliefs and concerns of all Americans.  I am not sure how Alvin Greene will fare against the political machine we have all had a hand in creating, but I hope he has started a small flame that will turn into a wild fire!  We need independent, caring, honest people to run for office and we need to use the social networks to promote the people we know.  We need to stop voting for permanent politicians.  They have lost touch!!!  It is time for every American to choose to serve this country in office.  That is the only way we will see a return to true representation of American values and beliefs.
