My Personal Wish For Americans In 2009

My Personal Wish for 2009 is to recognize that as tough as things may get this year, we must not ignore those who are having it even tougher. My wish is that America will take care of its own while we repair all the damage that has happened here and recoup our original beliefs in which made America such a great Country to start with. All too often we see fundraiser's going out to other Countries while good hard working Americans continue to lose their homes and jobs. Americans taking care of Americans. Buy products made in America, even if it costs more. My hope is that we can pull out of Iraq when the timing is right and hopefully that is this year. Our investment there is too serious just to walk away. However, these Troops need to come home, get a good home cooked meal and visit with their Families. My hope is that the Salisbury Airport is loaded with Citizens welcoming home our Soldiers, respecting all these men and women who have given u p so much for our freedom. We're in for some very tough times ahead and together we can survive by helping one and all, no matter your race or beliefs. We need to become that great Nation we once were and stop allowing our Government to rule since we are, "We The People." We are Americans in the greatest Country on Earth. No more talk about it, let's show the rest of the world what we're all about. Happy New Year to you all and may God Bless America.

Wonderful wish, Joe. It's time America started taking care of Americans. No more outsourcing jobs to other countries---bring our jobs back home. No more celebrities adopting babies from other nations; there are plenty of children needing homes right here. Let's rebuild our crumbling infrastrucure; let's stop worhipping celebrities; let's learn that love and compassion are worth far more than money.

Amen!!!

As Newt Gingrech said in one of his lectures at Georgetown... You can be born Irish, you can be born Italian, you can be born Nigerian. But if you are born American, you actively engage in being American every single day of your life.
No other nationality requires action.
Being American is an not a noun it is a verb. It is an action word!

Love the analogy!

We republicans want to be nice now, beings where going broke too.
However you claim you want to help all americans now. Well it is to late ,our money will most likely be usless by 2010, most companies will be broke of in chapter 11.
Why did the gov bail our auto companies, i heard of no projections on auto sales next year , there not expected to get better. So who will buy cars? NOone will. So look for our gov just to support who they want and good luck to all, cause we aint goin to make it , and dont really look for help from no one, these are just words you printed, did you help your neighbor pay his house or car payment , no. no no, This is not a reality post just wind blowing.

I merely hope now that God will spare us of the fate we rightly deserve.

So help your neighbor is a bad think? We are all citizens of the world not just the US.
