Use your vote to stop attack by 1 percent

Our country is headed in the wrong direction. A do-nothing Congress is in gridlock. Republicans refuse to act on anything to create jobs. Their No. 1 goal is to make our president a one-termer.

Ever since taking office, he has been attacked by the birthers as well as people who can't stand an African-American rising above slavery. He has been subjected to an enormous number of death threats and the hatred between both parties is really saddening.

We have a 1 percenter buying his way through the caucuses and he is outspending our president. The policies Mitt Romney offers are the same on steroids as the Bush policies on banking and Wall Street as well cuts to all helpful regulations designed to stop another meltdown and to regulate air and industry pollution.

I believe our Supreme Court has helped this great divide with unlimited campaign funds via the Citizens United ruling.

Romney's tax plan not only would grow the deficit but cuts Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and lowers the buying power of most of our citizens.

This very important election can stop the

1 percent attack on every hardworking American and everyone who depends of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to survive.
