Water- "The Taken for Granted" Resource and our Candidates


The abundance of water, that the Midwest and Michigan is so dearly blessed to have can not be taken for granted. There are several great websites to explore explaining the threats to the Great Lakes and Michigan's great resource: WATER.

To you, the reading audience, I continually have tried to inform you about our natural resources that are imploding before our eyes. Water misuse, declining bird and insect populations, land mismanagement and the Phragmite infestation in Michigan wetlands. Like our aging infrastructure,which is necessary so for our pampered lives, water is taken for granted... the clean water we drink and bathe in, the electricity that runs our world and endless supply of food it offers to us.  The systems to protect our precious water are aging and as a country we are not addressing them. Just like how we turn our heads when environmental issues are brought to out attention, Phragmites are destroying our wetlands and they need to be controlled, Asian Carp DNA has been found  in the Great Lakes, so how did that happen, let's do another study?  the infrastructure is in need of repair.

Doesn't that sound like a lot of jobs that could be created? Millions to be spent to save our country, support families and recreate America. Yet we spend MILLIONS to elect a president. Millions that could be used in refurbishing the services and helping to restore our country's natural resources, feed the hungry, save people' homes.  It happens every four years. I can say I am actually ashamed that our candidates are not smarter and wiser and could actually see through this political mess. That would be someone I would be happy to vote for. After viewing this video created by Penn State University, please vote. Don't stop there, get involved with an issue that is near and dear to your heart. Don't let The United States of America implode. God Bless America! God Bless You!
