President's Day thoughts

The last few days have been fairly unsettling to me. With the attacks made on things that are valued by the other party I have been a little disconcerted with the actions of our nations leaders. We have been promised change but instead what we get is the same continual bipartisanship that is dividing this country. More than ever we need to end the divisive actions, such as ending the defense of the DOMA, as well as the attack on state employee unions in several states. These actions show me blatantly what is wrong with our nation. We are continually becoming less trusting of each other, as well as our leaders. If we really want change as the American people we need to start changing things. We need to start working together, learning from each other and get involved in our communities. We need to meet our neighbors, and start developing the bridging social capital necessary to bring our nation together. So my President's day wish is that we return to a president from my parent's days who said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"
