Senator Obama,Do you deserve MY VOTE?

To Senator Obama and Senator Mr.McCain,
As a voter and someone who believes in Reason,Truth,and The Rule of Law being the bedrocks of a TRUE Democracy I have two quotes from esteemed and foresightful persons who both feared that the corruption of Democracy,riding on apathy,would fall in favour of power and money and I see this happening,over the last few decades,in the country I love,The U.S.A.

I beg you,read the quotes carefully and with patience,Sirs,and tell me and my fellow countrymen/women:
WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO,with us alongside,TO STOP THIS DEATH OF DEMOCRACY FROM SUCCEEDING?

--"A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government.It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.From that moment on,the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy,ALWAYS(emphasis added)followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations had been 200 years.
These nations have progressed through this sequence:
"From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to apathy;
From apathy todependance;
From dependance INTO BONDAGE".(emph.add.)

ALEXANDER F. TYTLER
from, "The decline and the fall of the Athenian Republic",
published 1776.

Thomas Jefferson,
---"Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction,to wit:by consolidation of POWER(e/a)first,and then CORRUPTION(e/a)its necessary consequence.
The engine of consolidation will be the Federal Judiciary;the two other branches the corrupting and corrupted instruments"

Written in 1821.

Senator Obama,I am a realist/optimist and you presently,are my first choice as Presidential candidate. BUT,there is still six months to go and YOU HAVE TO PROVE TO ME,the voter,that you will put the American people and their common businesses,common economy and infrastructure(agricultural OR industrial)ABOVE AND BEYOND those of Corporate entities(domestic OR foreign),with corrupt FISCAL and electoral power,which quite obviously ARE ALREADY IN CONTROL of our Judiciary,Congress and Media.
You speak of "CHANGE" but you must lay out EXACTLY,for the American people,how you intend to make those changes for the benefit of OUR Democratic Republic of The United States of America,and its survival from dictatorship.

Release yourself,Barack,from the bondage of Corporate interests and ENTITIES("PERSONS"),detach yourself from the special interest groups(foreign and domestic), plug your ears against the persistent cawing of lobbyist crows,AND TELL US,the American people how you are going to stop this DEATH OF DEMOCRACY which is playing out,in front of our eyes,RIGHT NOW!
And remember,I have what you want----MY VOTE,and my confidence Sir! These are National treaures. And in six months,disasters AND MIRACLES can happen!
Do you deserve my vote?
