HOW TO SAVE THE DREAM

The American Dream is really a nightmare. People born here have to fight and struggle for everything they have, trying to achieve their dreams - working themselves to death - whereas illegal aliens are handed money, housing and health care. History is truly repeating itself.

When our forefathers came to America, they too took everything that the native people had and gave them what was left over that no one else wanted.

The system does not work. It's time to fix what we have done to this country. It is time for ``We the People'' to fix these United States.

Cut foreign aid, except in cases of disaster. Cut medical aid to all those who are not citizens or here legally to work or who require emergency care.

Take care of our own with education and health-care programs, food and housing.

It's time to take care of ``We the People'' of these United States before the next great native uprising that seems to be building in this country with increasing crime and violence, with total disregard for life.

The footsteps of the past eras are getting louder, and no one seems to be listening.

Now is the time to circle the wagons and take care of ``We the People.''
