It's the Economy, Really?

It's the economy, they say, that most Americans are concerned about. Really? If that is true, then look at these statistics for a minute:
 February 2009 unemployment 8.3% -September 2014 6.1%.
 GDP growth 2/09 -5.4% now 4.6%.
DOW 2/09 was $7365 in September $17,000
Consumer confidence 2/09 25 and in September 94.6

The government in July posted its first four month budget SURPLUS in years. http://www.businessinsider.com/first-four-month-government-surplus-in-years-2014-7

The number of uninsured people is down by 25% according to this NYTimes article:  http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/27/us/is-the-affordable-care-act-working.html?_r=0#/uninsured

Our President, with very little help from Congress has accomplished so much for this country. If you followed any of the tweets on the #YesWeDid hashtag, you know that we are in far better shape as a country than we were in February of 2009.

Something that happened in January of 2010 is what I believe is driving the direction of this midterm campaign. Have you guessed where I am going with this? On January 21, 2010 the Citizens United case was decided by our Supreme Court. Since that time, Super PAC'S have been set up and we are seeing extraordinary amounts of money being thrown into politics. This is skewing the information being given to the general population and people are being deliberately deceived into voting against their own values and best interests.

Democrats in our Senate tried to overturn Citizens United. Remember, September 2014? All Democrats and two Independents voted for the bill and all REPUBLICANS voted against it. So when you vote next Tuesday, remember which party is the one trying to make our country better. #VoteBlue
