Ever since the 2008 Kentucky Primary, I have tried my best to convince the many Hillary Clinton supporters that they should vote for Barack Obama in the General Election. Many cite the fact that his age of 47 years is too young, to which I usually counter with the fact that Sen. John F. Kennedy was 43 years old and Gov. Bill Clinton was 46 years old when they became president.

Please do not rubber stamp another piece of legislation for this administration. Especially not a corporate bailout that does nothing to prevent this from happening in the future and nothing to help the average American.

We do not wish to be saddled with this debt in the future. We need our legislators to investigate this system failure and draft legislation to protect us from this type of failure in the future.

Our President wants the Congress and the Senate to allow him to be the decider, but the people do not wish to support that way of thinking any longer.

Aren't old people grand? They are wonderful people to be around and have lived through much of history being made. They have seen a lot through the years and have given of themselves over the same.

The elderly should not be pushed to the wayside as if an inconvenience and insignificant by the young. I've seen some cases of this going on and it is sad. The elderly deserve the best of love and care in their advancing years. There is also so much we can learn from their experiences in life.

Most of us are familiar with the phrase "No Child Left Behind." Parents of children in our schools would agree that everything possible should be done to ensure that no child, especially one's own, should miss out on becoming a healthy and well-educated student in our community. This applies to his physical well being as well as his educational one.
