Entry #122

Hi yall! I just watched John Kerrys speech for his acceptance of the Democratic nomination for the Presidency! He is awesome!!! Yep, Im voting for John Kerry and John Edwards. If you look into the heart of someone who wants to be a leader, you can tell where theyre coming from. I think that is crucial in a leader. If a leader is coming from a place of service to others and helping the greater good, using their hearts in their decision making, that is the key. I felt that Clinton used his heart as well as his brain. On the other hand, you can feel it when someone is lying. You can tell when someone is using words to manipulate and get the best for only themselves while stealing from everyone else with no regard to the welfare of the future which is what Bush has done every time Ive heard him talk. I cant wait until Kerry is President! He will turn this Nation around and help bring peace and respect back to our country. Michael Moore is going to be filming the voting process in Florida!!! I love him! Ha! Make sure they dont finagle the voting process again! The key here is that once Kerry is elected, we who care about our country and the world in large cant go back to being complacent. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. You cant give the government and the President all of the power ever again. We as citizens HAVE to play our fair share of the role in government. Even if the only thing each of us does is making sure were registered to vote and then go and vote with your heart and mind. It sucks, yes, we dont want to focus on that boring stuff but when we fall asleep at the wheel, accidents happen and people who dont have our best interest are left holding the wheel and make decisions that dont have our best interests in mind. I never wanted to have anything to do with politics but these last four years have been so devastating for the majority of Americans that I have to pay attention. I have to be involved or else Im part of the problem.     Rock on Old Glory!!!   Jessica Star (Stars and Stripes!)
