In this current year we will all be asked to make a
decision. This decision of who will be our next president is an important one.
I believe it is in favor of the majority of Americans to vote in favor of our
current president Barack Obama. However I think it is of particular interest to
the recovery community.
Many people struggling with mental illness rely on federally
provided health care. Barack Obama has made federally funded health care a
cornerstone of his policy. In contrast Mitt Romney will not provide the same
quality health care to those who can not afford it. He will instead try to
provide tax breaks to the wealthiest people. These tax breaks will require cut
backs in government spending on things like Medicaid and Social Security.
I hope that this year social consciousness and equality
prevail over greed. I hope that we have seen in our history what the Republican
Party has done to our country. If you suffer from mental illness, vote for
president Obama. If someone close to you suffers from mental illness vote for
president Obama. Vote for equality.
