PLEASE Appreciate, recognize and respect the fact that without our parents , we would not be who we are.

Realize how difficult and hard it is to do something on your own and always appreciate the importance and the value in helping our family. This is what all employers look for in people they hire. They want someone who can appreciate the help of others , a person who knows the hardship of others to accomplish goals, and a person who does not put money as the only goal in life.

A Digital Democracy

Submitted by ub on

The practice of a digital system of democracy would not only allow registered voters to opine on which issues they want candidates to discuss, but also tell politicians where to focus their time and energy.

Which topic would the majority of US voters like to see the Congress dealing with? Does it matter to you, your family and fiends?

Whether you know who you’re voting for, are yet to decide or have a specific subject candidates should be addressing. Everyone's contributions would help shape the future of this great nation.
