I am very upset and worried about the state of our democracy in America. The Republican party cares more about winning than voting for the right thing. They are no longer willing to give the ideas of the other side even a consideration. Therefore our democracy can't move forward, or survive for that matter. I am a pro-life Christian, but I have been forced to leave the Republican party, because sadly they are losing touch with reality. I am deeply saddened by the rift between many of my Christian friends and me. Where is their willingness to discuss the issues with the other side? I consider their standpoint, but they won't even attempt to listen to any ideas that mildly oppose theirs. Why do they no longer set a high priority on our leaders living a life of integrity or setting a good example for our children and our world? Why are they unable to consider all ideas for themselves, rather than just blindly following their crowd? I too followed their crowd until a few years ago, simply because my family had also followed the crowd for generations. One day I decided to check out the beliefs of each party and I realized I no longer agreed with many of the beliefs held by my party, so I've now switched parties. Still, I realize that unless all parties are willing to consider other viewpoints, our democracy will end. There must be someone out there who hears my heart on this issue. It is a huge source of my increasing depression.
