America is not just white, black, red or brown. America is a great country where people of all nations and all colors of the world live with pride.

This is also the year of presidential elections, where we choose the leader of this great country four the next four years. As a citizen, I suspect that the 2008 presidential election is the all-time cleanest campaign, with no personal attacks and no fake surveys by the media as well.

Americans are tired of the negative campaigns of the past. Now it's time to focus on the various issues this country needs the most, such as reducing high gas prices, high food prices, creating new jobs, providing medical insurance to all Americans and affordable housing for those who need it most, enhancing family values, and improving and adding funding to our schools and colleges.

America is blessed in many ways. We have everything that a country needs. As Americans, we need to be role models to other countries and show the world that America will play her role as big brother in helping suffering people of the world.

God bless America, my home sweet home.
