How do you make America great? By denigrating other countries and their leaders? By bombing and invading other countries? By arming our country with more and more of the world\u2019s most advanced and dangerous weapons? By militarizing our country\u2019s police forces with those same weapons we use against other countries? If your answer to these questions is yes, then our nation\u2019s \u201cleaders\u201d are on the right track because that is exactly what they are doing.<\/p>\n
But I don\u2019t see it that way. Being a bully isn\u2019t being great. To make yourself great, you have to improve yourself, not hurt others. To make America great, we have to make it better, not tougher. To do that, we have to invest in our country and its people, not in weapons and war. We have to invest for our future, in our infrastructure, renewable and sustainable energy, health care for our citizens and education for our children. We have to fight corruption, we have to protect our environment, and we have to fight against global warming which is the greatest threat to our children\u2019s survival.<\/p>\n
We can never forget, our children are our nation\u2019s future. They are our nation\u2019s future leaders, producers, defenders and teachers of following generations. The actions we take today will profoundly affect their future. To deprive them of nutrition, health care and education in favor of buying bullets, guns and bombs to satisfy the greed of a few is to sacrifice our nation\u2019s future. We must put an end to this endless war on everything and concentrate our efforts on building a future for our nation and all its peoples \u2013 on making America truly GREAT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
