Standing Up As One

The chasm between our political minds grows wider every day; Verbal attacks on party rivals have become the accepted way. How many more congressmen must be shot before this tactic is undone? Citizens must demand a change in plan by standing up as one! The “house divided” analogy is coming back into play; Candidates want to win at all costs – too high a price for us to pay. The damage done by negative campaigns ensures nobody really has won; We must put a stop to this festering pot by standing up as one! You don’t build yourself up by tearing your opponent down; It shouldn’t be this way! We don’t vote FOR a candidate; we vote AGAINST someone else; That really is not okay. To save ourselves and restore the pride of being an American, Campaign reform must be reborn so we can all stand up as one!
