Another option

It appears clear after talking to friends and neighbors as well as many who attended the recent state fair that there is a desire and a need for another option in the political arena. People do not seem to be happy with the either or choices available but do not have another choice, the media has not yet allowed for any other option. We kid each other not the truth is our current political system is driven by the media and the opinions of the media, am I telling it like it is? Well ask yourself when was thelast time yo heard a commentator or a columnist give both sides of an issue and let the peolpe make a decision on the facts as they see it not as the media sees it, after all the are in business to make money and sell their product so I expect them to be biased. We need to encourace our people to think for themselves and not be led like sheep.
