I Am…

I am not a percentage, a label, or a catchphrase. I am a hard-working, decent person. I am a wife, a daughter, a small business owner. I want a hand up, not a hand out. I want financial security, not financial windfalls. I want a country where government is by the people for the people, not by Wall Street and Big Oil for their own gain. I want legislators, not lobbyists, who compromise not criticize, and have their constituents best interests, not special interests as their priority. I want a country where no one has to worry about getting preventive care or life-saving treatments regardless of their bank account. I want clean skies and clear waters. I want change, not childish bickering, solutions not slander, and a government run by people passionate about public service, not power trips. I am an American. I am a New Yorker. I am but one vote in a sea of many but it is no less important than any other. We all matter, so VOTE!!! Let your voice be heard!
