My husband and I had started a trucking business in December of 2006 and things were starting to look up for us until President Obama came into office,then it all came crashing down around us,first we lost my Boxer March 3rd, i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer March 27th,we lost our trucking business June 24th, and i lost my Australian Shepherd September 11th. And I just recently had my new vehicle repossessed October 2nd. Life has not been good to us this year.

     And the only good thing that has happened this year is that my husband started going to church and was baptized last month. We try so hard to be grateful for at least still being able to live in our house,but by January 2010 we will lose it due to non-payment of property taxes.

     I listen to the things on the news about President Obama saying he wants to put us in jail if we don’t buy health insurance and raising our already high electric bills,it makes me furious that he thinks so little of the middle and lower class people who struggle to make a living. We have worked hard all our lives to get to where we are today and in one President change it has all been taken away.

     My husband works now for a petroleum company that is not doing any better than the company we worked for when we lost our business and he might as well be working at McDonalds for all he is making. We have tried everywhere trying to find other work to make enough pay to pay our bills and we are turned down left and right,due to people not hiring or we are to experienced.

     What will it take for President Obama to listen to the people? Will we lose this country to socialism? Will we never have a say in how this country is run again?
