I am tired of watching the government being used as a revenge mechanism against perceived "enemies" and partisanship tearing the country apart.  The silent majority are far too often forced to choose between extreme candidates on both sides of the political fence, and the resulting gridlock has risked American prosperity and forward progress.  We need a government that works for all of us, that sees compromise as a virtue and not a sign of weakness, and looks to make sensible policies that promote growth, sustainability, and bring Americans together.
