I Had A Dream
Woke up early this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. I was too energized from my dream.
I dreamt a man was elected to LEAD this country through it’s current mire. Sen. McCain spoke to our nation as a MAVERICK and proud AMERICAN. It wasn’t all pretty either. But that didn’t disturb my slumber. I do NOT wish to have a president lull me into a hypnotized state of feel good with calm tone and smooth rhetoric.
I want a president who’ll move this country into action. In my dream, our new president proved his intentions to change the same old, same old on DAY ONE by announcing there will be NO big money galas celebrating his election. If big companies and wealthy supporters need a tax write-off, he strongly urged the gala funding money be distributed to the charity of THEIR choosing. No big parties this year, there’s serious WORK to be done.
Next, he announced meetings would begin with a variety of knowledgeable people on how to best deal with our economic situation. Real, non-poll driven solutions would be presented to Americans. In my dream, our president introduced his outline to citizens in straight talk. No sugar coated, say nothing, ‘FAIR’ diatribe. Life isn’t fair. And you know what? We can take it. This country was founded by, and has prospered with roll-up-your-sleeves, hard working citizens who can face any challenge. Just elect us a LEADER who will inspire us to achieve, not offer us a government that will TAKE CARE of all our needs. Give us a challenge and clear direction, PLEASE!
I dreamt this man reminded us all of the basics. The Constitution, the PURPOSE and FUNCTION of our government, that the senate and congress work for the PEOPLE of this nation. For the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE. Have we forgotten?
Sitting here with my cup of coffee and laptop, I can’t help but wonder what awaits America the morning of Nov 5th.

Great post… and Great dream to have.
Now, if we could but figure out how to spread that dream around so everyone can see what this country’s citizens are capable of…
Still praying it will become reality on the 4th.

Cathy, I think you channeled a lot of frustrated Americans in that dream! Boy you hit the nail on the head. I can’t wait for this election to be over…. and for us to remember that the Federal Government is supposed to be an extension of the people — not the other way around. It’s totally backward!

Good post Cathy!
I hope more people get this same AMERICAN dream or I am afraid we may have a nightmare on our hands.
God bless America!
