We hear all day long about what the President is proposing and what will actually happen with health care reform. So, what is the real issue?  The real issue is that Health Care costs in America have grown faster than the average salary of the average working American.  If health care cost continues to rise, employers will be unable to provide any benefits and more and more Americans will lose their health care benefits.  And, what about the uninsured.  For every uninsured American, every insured American is paying more and more for health care costs.

The Health Care Debate is in full swing. Tune into any one of the last News Shows these days and see people yelling at our nation's debate over health care via these worthless town hall meetings.  Recently, a man was injured as he was yelling "Obama is a Socialist" at one of these town hall meetings.  Turn out the man had to go to the hospital, where they found out he had no HEALTH INSURNANCE!  Now, of course, he wants to sue someone and is taking "donations" to pay for his health care.  Yet, he was the vocal voice of decent, against the President's Health Care plan to cover 50 Million un-insured Americans.

(Tuesday April 15, 2008) - Have you seen them?  You know, the men who will stand up for what's right and speak up for truth; the men who will follow through on their commitment when they give you their word; the men who care less about going with the crowd if the crowd isn't going in the right direction.  These are the men of integrity that are rarely seen in today's society, but they do still exist.  Where are they?

"We're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the way the world is made. This is the interrelated structure of reality."

At age 17 I signed the dotted line to enter the military and serve this country.  Two days after graduating high school, at age 18, it was  official. I was on a plane from Raleigh to Dallas Texas. Later stationed at Fort Bragg, I knew that I could be called at any moment to be ready to deploy anywhere in the world within an 18 hours notice...  From the social realm, we all have not only a civil but a moral responsibilty in responding to the call to serve and protect our communties..

Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne says he envisions the local faith community coming together as The Church of Fayetteville "Were looking for ways that people of common interest can come together and make things happen; where we can set aside potential differences and focus on something in common. It's a big part of this city's life right now, an important part."
