Theme: Change the American System to one That Works for 350 Million People

It might sound naive at first; however, this is how I see it. What most American's want, I believe and regardless of Party affiliation, is to have competent and unbiased leadership at the helm, to lead the nation. At least I hope so. Next, that leadership must be non-partisan during it's entire tenure in office (local, state and federal); and be sagacious, neutral and gracious, all of the time that it, he or she is in or holds an office(s).

Next, each leader ought to have every American in mind whenever they deliberate or make decisions that are, hopefully in the best interest of all Americans. Not one leader should be focused... only with one base. Which leads to my next point.

Should we do away, all or in part with the current system that is in place? Well, at least amend it; and make it work for every American. What's wrong with that, it's not working And the ways things stand today; the net result is that we will continue to promote bifurcation, stand-off; polarization and a standoff between citizens. The 2-Party system is adversarial and promotes isolation and confrontation.

What America really needs, and has needed a long ago before, has and is system that worked and works for every American today, not one that clearly identifies, works to and inures to the benefit of any single Party, or group of individuals (with money). True leaders, get this; will have to dispense with Party affiliation, once they step into office. Even if it impacts their ability to make self-serving and partisan deals, with their friends, which in turn alienates other voters; then so be it. What we, the American public, have been getting for years now, is just the opposite; and even worse the situation is worsening.

And let me repeat what I said before, once a person steps into office, even the Office of President of the United States; their Party Affiliations ought to be stripped away or temporarily suspended; as long as they are in or hold a office. The citizens and the nation will benefit more from neutrality, than it will given the way things stand today; and for that matter the way it has operated for years. At some point, we have got to stop the nonsense that we have been living with for 2 centuries, already. Too many Americans have been and are being left behind, and have been negatively impacted by past and current business as usual, decision-makers, that are often owned, bought and sold to private and proprietary interest group.

We don't need partisan leaders and leadership operating in the boughs of Washington D.C, Congress, the Oval Office in Departments.... These operatives, some elected mind you; are about to take this nation even further down than the drain; which appears at times to be exactly what some of our politicians... hope to do. This has been the pattern for many years now; however, I believe that it is time to do something different, and without waiting. Throwing whatever a Party believes will stick to the wall, is completely reprehensible and ought to be considered illegal.

And for the revised system to succeed, all sides, even members of the need to understand that America cannot operate successfully anymore, with partisan leaders running this nation and world, only to pursue their own partisan interests. Three-hundred fifty Americans; are more important than any interred group, a individual... or 1 or 2 percent!

I really do believe that it is, 'time for a change'! How about you? We can have as many parties as American's want, that will work along with a unified people and system. Even if it takes a constitutional amendment to make the requisite changes; we need to do something immediately. Am I talking about overhauling the entire system; you got it. Otherwise, year after year all that the citizens of the nation will end up receiving, is more of the same: Obstruction, and a system that work only for the rich, wealthy and corporatist's!

And to be sure, the current situation won't matter to American's that are beneficiaries of the current system. The nation was better off when it was 'a commonwealth'!
