Communities

Communites are more than just churches and schools. Communities also include local government. Mayors need to step up to the plate and start organizing their communities. Sponsor a community clean-up day or a chili cook-off and start regeristering voters at every single event.

Connect the dots for your people. Teach them that self-respect means respecting not only their homes but their neighborhoods. Sponsor citizenship classes and self-respect seminars through your local library system. Parents cannot teach their children what they do not know.

And for crying out loud, acknowledge the homeless people in your community. We are in the midst of a national disaster. Pitch tents, park FEMA trailers, do whatever you have to do to put a roof over everybody's head while we sort this mess out. I know, that means you'll need to hire more emergency personnel. Job Alert!

Has anyone figured out yet that we actually do have plenty of jobs that need to be filled. We just don't have the money to pay people to do them. So far, in order to fix this mess, we need more teachers, teachers aides, construction workers, school bus drivers, INS employees, FDA inspectors, and now we've added Police Officers, Firemen and EMT's. More bailout money needs to go here. We won't solve the problems if we don't fill these jobs.

Let's get a move on people! The media needs something more to talk about than what Mrs. Obama wears every single day and what bad manners the English have, or is it the media that has bad manners? Who exactly is it that's complaining about those Christmas gifts? Get some perspective people.
