Three documents that have a profound impact on this nation and the world, yet how many of us know what is in them and what they say. Well read them, not just to say that you have, but to allow them to fill you with their meaning. And after you have done that take some time to see where we stand as a country. Are we fulfilling the dream? Have we failed to reach the dream? To answer that question you need to decide where America stands at this moment.
Are we letting what was written in these three documents, these brave words that have cost the lives of so many as they defended this country, become sound bits? Do not let that happen. With an election coming up, do not let apathy and special interest groups determine the circumstances of this country, become aware.
I have often heard that this country is run by special interest groups, by Political Action Committees ((PACs) [different link]), etc. If that is heard then we need to understand why. The ‘why’ is that the “Government of the people , by the people and for the people” has lost the voice of the people because we do not vote.
Not only do we not vote, but we do not hold our representatives responsible for what they do and fail to do in our name. It is time to start using our voice to communicate with those who we place in office. DO not forget about these people after you have voted.
Now before everyone starts yelling that they do not have the time to keep up with all of the governments that represent us, there is a better way.

Communicate with your friends and do not only listen to those who agree with you, but listen to those who disagree with you.
