Politicians going unchallenged

Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Sen. Patty Murray will certainly be re-elected, not necessarily because their votes reflect the values of those they represent, but because of their ability to raise money.

Both support our military by killing our troops in conflicts with “enemies” that pose us no threat, support federalizing our educational system, teaching illegals and false, endless wars on drugs and terror while limiting our freedoms.

They say nothing as the Federal Reserve Board destroys our finances, illegals cost each household $1,117 a year, banking is consolidated and the military-industrial complex moves us toward a one-world government orchestrated by an oligarchy.

We need candidates committed to stop our military aggression, terminate the Federal Reserve, close 90 percent of our bases outside our country, replace foreign aid with American aid, restore our rights to grow, eat and say what we want and stop loaning money to the World Bank rather than those losing their homes!

Computer geeks could develop a free Internet system for use by anyone running for office to get their message out to voters, countering incumbents’ financial advantages.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats desire to restore America’s greatness, finances nor the liberties of its citizens.

Get involved.

Random acts of kindness are simple acts that people of all ages can participate in. They can be done at any time, any place, for the unselfish purpose of spreading good will and a lot of happiness to many. There are no reasons. Just do it, just care for one another, especially those who are down and out.

Nice people help to create a kinder, more caring community and can help to perpetuate genuine acts of kindness through their own friendly behaviors and positive actions.

Random acts of kindness should start in the home, to the schools, the business community and into the city. They can be big, i.e., volunteering in organizations such as Big Brothers and Sisters, Volunteers of America, local food banks, Ronald McDonald House relating to young people who have cancer, and many more. Your small acts of kindness are cheering people up with compliments or making each other feel good by caring.

Treating each other with random acts of kindness can possibly erase our crime rate and do away with the school and neighborhood bully.

Remember, the final measure of your life won’t be how well you live but how well others live because of you.
