"DREAM" Differently--The American Way!

Whether the truth about the outcome hurts (you) emotionally, the U.S. Senate--"R's" and "D's"--did the right thing in not playing politics, by attaching both "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" and the "Dream Act" to a pay raise for the Troops.

Harry Reid was sinister to have done so; once again assuming most (voters) have not awakened to these ill-willed and ill-fated, old school political tactics designed to embarrass the opposite Party into submitting to the entire, badly proposed legislation. Pshaw! No more, Harry!

We—The PEOPLE—are awake! And “we”--“The Awakened” --are informing the still sleep: And we will awaken them, whilst you only open their eyes wide shut…

These political, “Party”, tactics are what divide us: not our disagreements as to how to enact change. When our Congressional representation, our Senate, our Judicial legislators …Our President..s(!) begin to again take us seriously, we might see real debate towards a valid resolution to issues that concern us differently.

We can “agree to disagree” but still find a resolution.

If we designed and geared our approach to the solution of our economic, educational, social, and racial issues towards an American Value System and apply “programs” accordingly, we might have a basis for which to set an agenda acceptable by the majority. But even worse, now, is we are allowing this Administration to apply a “World” agenda—with others dictating to us how to remain the most successful county ‘on the planet’ … I mean when, before, did we need, or heed, the advice of rogue nations?!

We can do it if the “Parties” won’t!

It is time to re-write The Dream Act to state an honest approach to “the Dream” that is the “American Value System”, which Americans regard and respect.

That value system, while being constantly challenged towards the improvement of all people lives, had a strict basis, adopted by this country and profoundly stated in its use of language and ability to limit itself to THE PEOPLE’s wishes, and using the fairest and best tools and methods to achieve and maintain the balancing of our differences …and not intended to be changed because the majority decision is not what the minority party had hoped for!


‘The System’ is not the problem—the lack of honesty in the rhetoric is.

The desire for “the Dream” is appreciable by all of us who value being an American Citizen! But derogatory opinion after the rejection of your expected decision does not give me reason to (ask my Senator to) make it any easier… .

Don’t try to change ‘our’ dream, and the method to achieve it, because you are not patient enough--or willing--to present a factual debate; or your sincerity is not convincing enough to force the handing over of such a prized existence! You—dream differently.

This "Dream" is the American way! (…and personally, for me, it’s a wonderful way to wake up!)
