Vote out all incumbents

The differences between the Democrats and Republicans are not black and white. The differences are more pewter and battleship gray. That is why during election years the issues that affect us all get put on the back burner while candidates rally around personal choice issues involving a smaller portion of the population.

That is the divisive strategy used to differentiate themselves from one another.

That is also why many refuse to exercise their right to vote.

Can we can go back to the principles of the Constitution, to unite despite our differences and give freedom and justice for all? Should we start toward that goal by voting out every incumbent and starting anew?
