A Mother's Mission



From Becoming War

I have been spending the last few weeks in Florida and met a Mother inspired to GET OUT THE VOTE for Barack Obama. She has donated her time generously while she waits for her son to return from Iraq. This is the first of series of her poems I will post of the next few days.


GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY
By Cathy Booth

You don’t need to be Republican or a Democrat
be an Independent that is where it’s at.
You don’t need a party to tell you how to vote
everyone has their own mind and this is what I quote:
“We all are Americans living in the U. S. A.
who we put in office will be there for four years of stay!”
They must help everyone with matters everyday
whether it’s taxes, healthcare, or keeping terrorists away.
Always keeping our country prosperous and our economy strong
out sourcing jobs they should know is wrong.
Helping those who struggle trying just to make ends meet
job security, retirement or loosing their homes
from beneath their feet.
Education for our future generations
as the young one day will become our old
striving for the same things as now has been told.

Yes we elect a president for four years of stay
to serve us in the White House making decisions everyday.
It doesn’t really matter if he’s black of if she’s white
if he’s a he or she is a she seems to me quite trite.
If they make a difference
in helping everyone to make ends meet
improving our economy
and making our everyday life complete.
After all we all are Americans living in the U. S. A.
the land of opportunity the land of the free;
the land of diversity and true unity.
Listen to the news
and to what the candidates have to say
then make your own decisions everyone should have a say.
So make your voice count and get out and vote today!
