Dear Republicans,

It has been a long time since my last post here on Voter Mission. It was nice to take some time and soak up the uplifting feeling of a new generation of leaders for our country. Even with the election of Barack Obama as our President and the passing of the largest stimulus package in the history of the world, our economy has still continued in a downward spiral. The hearts of Americans continue to be broken and times are getting tougher but I cant help feeling like the sun is still shinning. I was living in the Netherlands when President Obama was eleceted but when I returned home in December I could feel something was different, I still feel that way today. It feels like the clouds have parted, even though the economy stinks and millions of jobs have been lost, I feel like I can turn to my neighbor like never before. I feel like we are working together rather than apart, even though the stimulus passed with little to no republican support. I feel like that is not representative of our country, our citizens.
And then this week I hear Rush Limbaugh, the self proclaimed leader of the Republican party accuse President Obama of fear mongering, instilling fear into the American people in order to push a liberal agenda. I say to anyone who believes that please board a plane and leave now. If you can accuse President Obama of fear mongering, may I ask you about your former leader and the ideals of the Republican Party during the last 8 years. DO NOT be as ignorant as the last 8 years, do not listen to the right or left media instead I urge you to make informed desicions and have open conversations. BUT when someone says to you that Rush Limbaugh or anyone for that matter is right to accuse Barack Obama of instilling fear in our country I hope your response is something less ignorant and more relevant. THE times of old have passed and it is time for a new generation of americans to lead the way.
A generation that understands the world we are living in and the technology and innovation in our future, for these are the things that are going to lead us out of these dark times. Instead of division and accusations come to us with solutions new solutions because the old ones didnt work. I dont care if your talking about the economy or education, I dont care if you have been an executive for 30 years and know the models and the protocols like the back of your hand. It is time to learn something new, it is time for you to let your guard down and retreat your time was up well before it started. You were so right before and look where we are now.
I hear every day on the news about the new leaders of the republican party and the new ideals of the republican party and I cant help but be feel sad. Sad that millions of Americans can give a standing ovation to a man that has placed false accusations on our President in order to inspire a political party. I hope any republican that reads this post does not feel attacked, I am not attacking your party or your ideals. What I am saying is that I am tired, sick, tired and sad of hearing the representatives of your party divide our country more. And it brings me saddness to know that my fellow americans rely on people like Rush Limbaugh to portray a message. It effects me, even as a dem, it makes me sad to be an american. We all should be ashamed........
