I doubt that anyone reading this is a millionaire or billionaire. If they are, good for them.

The Republicans, with their Super PACs, special interests and billionaires, are trying to buy this election. They want to buy their way into the White House. They are willing to spend more than $1 billion to defeat President Barack Obama. Everything is at stake for the middle class and the poor.

They are blaming Obama for everything. They want to go back to the years of President George W. Bush, who got us into this mess in the first place. They forget, or don’t want to remember, that President Bill Clinton left office with a balanced budget and a surplus.

It didn’t take long for Bush to go through that. Yes, he had two wars, but he never paid for them. How can they blame this debt on Obama?

Republicans, with their Keystone pipeline, don’t care if people get sick; all they want are the profits.

The Koch brothers, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove, Donald Trump, just to name a few, are trying to suppress the vote. They want to keep the elderly, blacks, Hispanics, Asians and independents from voting. They want to make it hard for them to vote.

Look at what Gov. Rick Scott is doing in Florida. They have made a list of people who have been voting for years and now they have to show proof that they are citizens.

I think it’s about time Gov. Mitt Romney releases his tax returns and the millions of dollars he has in off-shore accounts. What is he hiding?

The people of this country are not stupid. We do remember and we will prove it on Nov. 6.
