Why? Because I'm a REGULAR AMERICAN.

I'm an honest person. Sometimes to a fault. My first blog post was really just a filler to get something on the page. Now I'm going to start opening up. That's what a blog is supposed to be right? Well, here we go, whether you like it or not...

I feel like I represent most of what 20-30 year old Americans are in today's world. Personally, I'm graduating from college soon and am starting to look for jobs. I know unemployment has been high in the past few years and the economy sucked, but both are slowly starting to get better. I'm not gonna spout some percentage statistics about how it's gone up, because, well, I don't follow all the super up-to-date political news. Why, you ask? That's a very simple answer: I DON'T HAVE TIME.

I go to a fairly prestigious engineering school, taking classes that most of Middle America (including my parents) can't pronounce the title. I also have a part time job to make sure I can pay for the roof over my head and the crappy food I eat to stay alive. I also have many school organizations of which I am an active, leading member. I try to find time to exercise and stay some what in shape, but most of the time that falls by way side. Trying to find time to hang out with friends or even watch a television show for myself is almost impossible. So, being completely informed of every potential candidate's platforms, beliefs, and all the minuscule differences between them? Ha...yeah right.

So I thought to myself, how in the hell am I supposed to find the candidate that can read my mind and know what I want and know what I think is important? After, oh about 3.2 seconds, I realized that it was never going to happen. This led me to the idea of this blog. Why not just tell the candidates exactly what I want? Aren't candidates and representatives supposed to listen to what I have to say anyway? Isn't that what America was founded on? A government that "WE THE PEOPLE" created, to be run BY US?

My hope is that, through this blog, I can gain some followers and connect with other people who share my thoughts and philosophy when it comes to how this country should be run. Then, together, we can find the right candidate and let them hear our voices. Hopefully, come next year, we can get the right person who will listen to what we have to say and take action to change what we want changed.

Why is this important?
