Dare to dream

Dare to dream


I’m going to take a huge bite off of Martine Luther King’s great dream and dream for myself. Hopefully, you join me in this journey of reality to utopia.

I have a dream that congress has no republican senators or house republican representatives and the public will not go broke for health care. After being voted out of the capital exclusive planet, I dare to dream the republican’s hear the call that voters are tired of their constant back stabbing, bickering, and sensationalism to create chaos. American’s are blind and being guided by the tigers. I have a dream that American’s eyes open and they understand that when republicans send out controversial messages on the President Obama’s health care bill that they are not working for the people. The dream includes that Americans know that republican have a stake in themselves and not you. Republicans are defending huge companies like Blue cross and blue shield who wants to make “extreme profits” through monopoly of the market and no competition. There is nothing wrong with making a profit because it is what drives the economy. One should make a profit but not at ones expense or health. I once worked for the N.J state government and realize that state workers got a delicious deal. They were offered the option of a health care with no premiums. That’s right they did not have any payment coming out of their paycheck. What’s more, prescription co-pay was $1 for generic and $5 for name brand. That was good because my earning was less than $35,000 a year. That plan, I would associate to that of the public option or what congressmen currently have who make more than $35,000. Furthermore, if you were a senator for 10 years and get voted out you still get the same health care filled with goodies. It is a senate option that was denied to President Obama as a kid and to his dying cancerous mother. Yet, republican’s called President Obama a witch doctor and associate him with Hitler. Clearly, they could proposed other things as well such as changing doctors pay from per patient to salary, demanding the tort law change to decrease doctors mal practice insurance to change, demanding health food becomes affordable and taxing companies that use preservatives in their food or trans-fats. One should wonder about the idiot s that join the opposition to health reform or increase competition. Increase competition helped with the phone company. We now have choice of plans with more meat in it and we are no longer charged by the minute for residential phones. Big companies like Verizon make such huge profit they have a plane for every area code. Do you have your own fleet of 747jet? So join the dream and tell the republicans “Enough with the scare tactics you selfish, moronic, sore losers and step down. We don’t tolerate hypocrisy.”

I dare to dream the most audacious dream. One would not receive a small mortgage invoice from the electric company like $500.00 a month for spending ¾ of your time out of your home. This dream includes no republican in the senate seat to bloc the expansion of green energy. Green energy is the use of solar panels, geothermal or wind energy that reduces the electric bill. The more people buy in to these alternative energies the less expensive they become. Did you know people with solar panels have paid $2.00 on their electric bill? Did you know that George Bush’s former home was equipped with solar power? My big dream is that an all democratic congress has the sense to pass in to law: all new construction must have at least one of green energy, through this law create new jobs, create state websites listing green companies, and have all federal and state mandated green buildings. Mandate the new development of hybrid 18 wheelers and public transportation with 50 miles per gallon. I dare to expand my “no republican law makers” dream into the student loan sector.

. Did you know children of democrats and republican congressmen’s receive great scholarships for generations? I dare to dream that students become more incline to apply to college because they know they can afford to pay their student loans. Student will gain more in federal Pell grant money and not deal with loan programs like Plato which offers government subsidized money at high interest rates per day. So dare to dream stability in cost of education through interest rates. Furthermore, dare to dream the government cuts wasteful spending by mandating colleges accept 50-60 of transfer credits from students respective field or core classes (from accredited schools) . Also, congress should refuse to pay colleges on course duplication just because the course has a different title, name, or semester. I am inspired by the notion that with no republicans in the white house families will be less in debt. Meanwhile as one becomes more inspired, one continues to dare and dream.



The best reason to dream for a no republican party is that one wants to be able to eat and pay their dues every month. One should not have to live in tents, while your republican congressman or woman averages $174,000 in yearly salary and lives well. I dare voters to recognize the true creator of chaos is republican instigator John McCain. Mr. McCain is a sore loser and using his animosity to punish the public for not calling him Mr. President. Why else would they cheer at Chicago’s Olympic lost when the Olympic bid could have brought in millions upon millions of dollars for the local, state, and federal government. Was that cheering an act of “we the people” or republican senate sores. So dare to dream the great ousting.

Have the audacity to make vote for an all 8 year democratic party. Surely, this essay conveys ousting of a republican member is an inch toward utopia or a better life. No bickering, no political backstabbing because of personal agenda or political agenda- is utopia. It is time the Baucus plan and public option gets passed. However, for those who agree that a non republican world would bring a small utopia should decide to make a non republican congress a reality.
