I apologize if someone has already posted this information, however, the below information came about as I pondered, “Do Americans really want the ‘change’ President Obama claims America voted for in 2008?” So I decided to pull a few numbers together, in an effort to find out what percentage of Americans truly voted for Obama's campaign for ‘change’. The below information is not scientific, I simply pulled a few stats together using numbers from the US Census Bureau and CNN’s web site. I’ve included each link, so you can correct me if I am wrong with my calculations (I welcome productive criticism). Bottom line, based on my humble research, only 33% of Americans voted for Obama in 2008. My point, 67% did not (38% didn’t even bother to vote). I hope you and Glen Beck can use this logic to help open the eyes of our politicians – 33% is not a majority of America, only a majority of voters. Please consider the below:

Current US population - 306,094,058
http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html

I pulled the following from the US Census Bureau website, http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/voti... (the most recent statistics I could find was 2006 data):

201,073,000 - US Citizens, 18 years old and older
135,847,000 – Registered Voters, US Citizens, 18 years old and

Only 67.6% of US Citizens, 18 years and older, are registered to vote.

CNN report of 2008 Presidential election popular vote, http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/presiden... (rounded for easier math):

66,822,000 votes - Obama
58,344,000 votes - McCain

So, adding those numbers together, approximately 125,166,000 US Citizens, 18 years and older, voted in 2008 Presidential election.

Only 62% of US Citizens, 18 years old and older, voted in the 2008 election.

33% of US Citizens, 18 years old and older, voted for Obama
29% of US Citizens, 18 years old and older, voted for McCain

What about the other 38% of US citizens, 18 years old and older, that didn’t vote? What do they want? Why didn't they vote?

29% of McCain voters plus 38% of non-voters equal 67% of America. 67% of American that didn't sign-on for this type of 'change'.

Christianity is not about perfection. So let’s step back, realize no one is perfect and understand we all have different opinions and life experiences to share and consider.

I strongly feel our government has become a 'worldly church’, pushing away from the Constitution. I also feel our current government assumes it was given the right to ‘create’ each and every Americans’ life, liberty and pursuit of happiness vs. PROTECTING each and every Americans’ personal freedoms and encouraging each American to create, for him/herself, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Most liberals agree there must be a separation of church and state, so why do liberals encourage/demand our government to act as the church, providing for the needy, sick, widowed, orphaned, oppressed, etc?

The problem, as I see it, a 'worldly church' creates fluctuating standards to match the ever-changing human rationalization(s). What I mean, when we don't answer to something higher than ourselves, we become selfish and arrogant, looking out for our own self-interests, without truly considering the long-term consequences of each decision we make. Weak worldly standards/rationalizations will corrupt justice (or fairness as Obama often speaks of), because for justice to work efficiently, standards must be absolute/unchanging. Once you have absolute standards (comes from answering to a higher power) justice prevails, whereas worldly standards (changing standards) lead to injustice and chaos. What I am witnessing, as we turn more and more to worldly standards, is our country pulling apart and crumbling.

It is time for personal responsibility to take the foreground. It is time to refocus our attention to absolute standards, but also understanding we can only control ourselves. Remember, we will fall short following Godly standards, more times than not, but we must get back up, dust ourselves off, learn from our mistakes and persistently move forward.

What about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Freddy Mae, Freddy Mac, AIG and Government bailouts? Do you think those work well? I do not!

I agree. What can we do to help?

I am wide awake and you are correct. The arrogance, US Government can generate a better Health Care system is laughable. Healthcare reform belongs in the hands of 'we the people'. Our government's past performance equals future performance - Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac, AIG, etc.....

Please, keep writing your representatives. Make your voices heard.
