I am a fan of the non-violent movement. I appreciate those who stand up for what they believe in. Above all of that, I am one that puts emphasis on actually doing things, making it happen. While Tea Partiers across the country are spending Saturday morning protesting what they call a government take-over of [insert valued public service here] the true patriots of America will be advocating for good, or actually protecting this country overseas in war. Myself, and numerous members of the community will be participating in the MS Walk in Wilmington, Delaware. We will be taking positive steps to solve problems, and not holding up misspelled signs that are nothing more than uninformed threats on the country. You will continue to protest and annoy, we will continue to advocate for the future.

I challenge these so called patriots to actually go out into the communities and do something positive, something that will have an actual effect on society. It may be tough, because it doesn’t affect the bottom line in their household and their paychecks like Obama’s 2009 tax cuts did.

I am a proud democrat. Nothing that anyone says or does will stop me from sticking up for those who were dealt a hand worse than mine. I do not see these as hand outs, but as a hand up, and I welcome all within the county, regardless of political affiliation, to take one moment to do one good thing for someone other than yourself.
