DOES ANYONE CARE?

I have to ask, is there anyone in any corporation that cares about people? Or do they just do things and say "to hell with people"?
For sometime I have noticed a lack of concern that the rich and powerful have for the little guy. And it's everywhere. It's in Government. It's in corporations. It's even in hospitals. Nobody that run these places seem to care at all about people.
I know some of these things seem small. But, it builds up. After a while you just get the feeling that no one cares about you. Are you getting tired of being treated like you don't matter? There is a solution. Elect a President that cares about people.
This is the very foundation of my political activism. I care.
Back in the summer of 2011 I was listening to the Bob Durgin Show on WHP, AM 580 in Harrisburg, Pa., when someone called about an 8 year old girl whose lemonade stand was shut down. The more I listened to this conversation, I got angry. And I decided I had to do something. What I did was call my State Representative's office, my State Senator's office, and the Governor's office. And my concerns fell on deaf ears.
I then began thinking what has to happen for politicians to care people. I decided we needed a Governor that cared about people. So I looked for such a person. Not finding anyone, I decided to seek the Republican nomination for Governor. But the Republican bosses already decided on Tom Corbett. We see how that worked out. At first I decided to run a write campaign for the nomination. Realizing that was useless, I decided a write in campaign as an Independent. But, I still felt it would be nice to get party backing from somewhere. Not finding a party that I felt comfortable with I decided to form a party. It's called Freedom USA Party. The ultimate purpose for this Party is to re-establish freedom for the American people. That's where the name came from.
Well, I didn't make it for Governor. But, everything I was doing got some National attention, and I received a phone call from Louisiana. The man said that he was part of various groups that are in all 50 States. 51 if you count the State of Jefferson, now Northern California, which I hope becomes a reality. Anyway, he said that if I wanted to run for President these groups would support me. I told him I would think about it. A couple days later I called him back and told him I'll be the candidate if he would be my campaign manager. He agreed. So, I started a Presidential campaign on Facebook. But, that's it. No campaign manager, and no support from any group.
Folks, the only reason I want to be President is because I care about people. And, if I am elected, the first summer I would invite an 8 year old to have a lemonade stand at the White House, then I want to see someone try to shut it down. It would be a symbol that freedom has returned to the people of this Country.
When I am President there will be someone in the White House that cares about people.
That lemonade stand being shut down didn't have one iota of effect on me. But, you see, I care about more than just me.
Of course, I realized that wasn't enough to be President. So, I have developed an economic plan, Foreign Policy, etc. And all of it is based on the fact that I care about people. It may not seem so when you read it all, but every bit of my agenda is for the people.
Let's face facts, if we don't fix the economy, sooner or later it will collapse. That won't be good for the people, will it be? And our current Foreign Policy has created enemies all over the world. That can't be good for the American people either, can it be?
I am hoping when we have a President that cares about the people, an atmosphere will develop throughout the Country that people will matter at every level of Government, in corporations and even in hospitals.
But, I need your help to accomplish this. I need that support in all 50 States. I need a National Campaign manager, and as soon as possible. So, who will volunteer?
So, to answer the question, "Does anyone care?", I do.
