[Vision2020] Candidate issues - The Economy

[Tom Hansen]

Thank you, Mr. Rumelhart.

In my opinion, I believe that a majority of the American voting public are 
getting sick and tired of hearing . . . "Obama is this.  Obama is that."

People want to hear (and realize) . . . "This is how we will ensure that 
affordable health care is available to you and your family," . . . "This 
is how we will ensure that jobs are available," . . . "This is how we will 
provide affordable college educations," . . . "This is how . . . "

Do you know why people want to hear (and know) this?  Because after all is 
said and done, after all the electioneering, after all the votes are cast 
and counted . . . the American voting public must return to their homes, 
and families, and provide the very staples that ensures their health and 
stability.

That's why.

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
