In under a week's time, it'll be time for those in the United States of America to return to the polls and select the man they want in the oval office for the next four years. If Americans wake up and the man they chose is me, I plan to institute the change that is needed in this country. Bush and the Republicans had their chance to run this country. What have they done? In the last four years, we've had the greatest tragedy known to the people in our country. Yes, it could have happened if Al Gore was in office as well. I'm not saying that.

Bush has taken us to war. A war in a country that is not our own. The war is over, and our men and women in the armed forces are still over there. They are still there, living and dying in a country not our own. There is talk of reinstitution of the draft. Sending our young men and women of age to battle. Under my leadership, a draft will never be implemented. We can do what we have been doing already without it, with those that volunteer to serve.

There are other issues important to this country. Not only for its young, but its old. There are issues that affect each and every American, one of those issues being healthcare. Do you realize how many individuals in this country today, both young and old, do not have the benefit of healthcare coverage? Why is that? Because the cost is out of their reach. They can't afford it, so they go without it. They don't have the necessary funds to take care of themselves? Why is that? Is it because they are doing wrong? No, it isn't. The cost of healthcare in this country has skyrocketed, and it leaves those with lower incomes without. Is this right? No, it isn't. Every American, young and old, has the right to healthcare coverage. When I take office, I plan to implement plans in order to guarantee Americans that basic right.

Yet another issue that has been discussed much in this election is that of gay marriage. Bush would like to put through an amendment that will make this not allowable. Why do this? This decision is best left to the individual states. If they wish to allow those in their state the right to marriage, whether they are straight or homosexual, let them do that. Let the states decide what is right for them.

On November 2nd, the important issue here is that your voice is heard, that each and every American that is of age and registered to vote does so. Yes, I would like for that vote to be cast for me, but if your vote is for Bush, I do respect that. I just want to be able to wake up on Wednesday morning as your new President-elect.
