The upcoming election will be the most important election in the history of our nation. All the promises, the hope and change for the American people four years ago never materialized.

Who we choose as our next president will decide the outcome of our country’s existence as a moral, social and economic nation.

President Barack Obama and his administration are destroying this by dividing the people through race, religion, the poor and the wealthy. Obama has been on a spending spree since his office began. He has added more than $5 trillion to our national debt, with nothing to show for it.

The unemployment rate has stayed over 8 percent; 23 million people are out of work or underemployed.

Obama has said a free market doesn’t work. Without a free market, this country would not exist as we know it today.

Who is Barack Obama? I think he explains who he really is in his book “Dreams from my Father,” in which he talks about a dream he had from his father, that the sins of colonialism be set right and America be downsized.

I don’t know of any American who thinks this way. The dream of most Americans is of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Which dream will we as Americans choose this election ?
