Delaware...Do You Need a Change?

     Delaware, that small parcel of land that is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean just south of N.J. and north of Maryland has largely been a forgotten player in the world of the political spectrum.  Your fine state has a way of making the most out of your three electoral votes when it comes to the presidential elections.  Clearly, your fine state has taken a legitimate stance when it comes to voting Democratic for quite some time.  Although Joe Biden resided in your state, it is hard to believe that you voted Democratic for no other reason than to change the nation that former President Bush had left.  That is why you followed up the presidential election with putting in place the right Congressman and Senators that would allow Obama to be better suited to complete his job.
     Now more than ever, the nation needs your assistance in getting the word out that this year's election should be no different than 2008.  Your POTUS needs your help and the help of all that want change in the USA.  I am not saying that Mitt Romney is not a smooth businessman or a growing figure in our national spotlight, but as he grows, so do the warts he carries with him.  As you have seen the past four years, President Obama may not be perfect, and not everything he has proposed has been for everyone's benefit.  However, when you look at his accomplishments with the fact that for two of these years, he has met incredible opposition from the GOP, it is even more amazing at what he has done.  For these accomplishments, you can go to http://pleasecutthecrap.typepad.com/main/what-has-obama-done-since-january-20-2009.html and please feel free to share with those that may still want to vote Republican.
     You see, Delaware, it is up to all of us to spread the truth and facts about our POTUS so that many will not be inclined to just vote GOP because of sheer incompetence.  Over the next few months, there will be numerous reports of slander about Obama and his taxing the middle class and our national healthcare, but with the facts, we can set the record straight.  There are several quality information hubs that one can go to for checkable facts and truth before sharing the lies and GOP innuendo that can only hurt all politicians as we move forward.  Websites such as http://factcheck.org/ , http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/07/11/514384/taxes-30-year-low-obama/?mobile=nc, http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/07/09/extending-middle-class-tax-cuts-98-americans-and-97-small-businesses are just a few of the places where you can get reputable facts that are checked and detailed.
     You have done your part up to this point, but with your Senate primaries coming up on Aug. 14th, are you registered to cast that ballot that will bear the name of your representative for the next six years?  You can visit http://www.delaware.gov/ and click on voter services to find all you need to know about registering and absentee ballots or other info you may need to know.  Also on this site, you can find out who your candidates are for your Senate and House elections and review how they vote for you, their constituent.

By allowing yourself to gain the information needed to vote with confidence, you are also allowing others to help truly change the direction this country is heading.  Just remember that what a politician states may never be truth, but there are ways to check, double-check and call out our elected leaders on their lies and underhandedness.  Do not let this be just another #saddayforusa2012 with an uneducated and lackadaisical approach to running our country.
     Pass your knowledge along to family, friends and others that may not know how to reveal the truth about the way this country is being torn apart by quibbling members of the political parties.  Expose the truth and earn your motto of "Liberty and Independence."  In the end, if we do not, as a people take back our vote and democracy in our fine nation, then there will never be a guarantee of either in the future.
