I am a 43-year-old woman, married to a self-employed certified public accountant and I pay $1,000 a month for my family’s health insurance. My parents are paying exorbitant costs for their prescription drugs and cannot get a flu shot.
I cannot afford to go to the dentist.
I am paying record high prices for gasoline and my son’s community college classes.
My friends and neighbors are losing their jobs, worried their children may be snared in a draft and that their elderly parents will not be able to access health care.
My country is now hated by much of the world community, at higher risk of a terror attack than ever and embroiled in a bloody occupation.
These are the real issues the media should be covering, not “security moms” or Mary Cheney’s sexuality.
I don’t know what it’s like there in the Land of the Fourth Estate. But out here, the peasants are suffering, and about to revolt.
