I have a dream in 2012.
A dream that….
- No man, woman or child will go to bed hungry.
- Quality, affordable healthcare is available to all.
- There is peace in the world.
- Corporate and political corruption is an anomaly.
- Protecting and preserving our environment is a priority.
- No one is ever judged based on race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
My dream will begin to take hold when there is change in how politician’s view their role in our government; when they recognize we elect them to cross party lines to accomplish great things.
Dr. King showed us what was possible; he started to create the path for us to walk down together. Let’s be mindful of the power of people coming together to make great things happen this election year.
To honor Dr. King, and lasting positive change he made on our nation, here’s the U2 song “MLK:”

You hit it on the head. Our representatives need to remember that they are elected to represent us, the common people, and serve us, the common people. It’s a big dream you have, one that may never come true. The dollar rules more often than not.
We can only hope that more of us, and those we elect to represent us, will start to do the right things and start this country back on the path of greatness that it has wandered from.
Thank you for visiting and commenting Eric!
It starts with us! Those who are well-intentioned elected officials need to hear from their constituents to know what the priorities should be. Those who are not so well-intentioned need to be reminded that we, the people, have the power of our votes to remove them from office. You’re right; the dollar rules more often than not BUT, at the very least, if we make our collective voices heard, we won’t be completely taken over.
