THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER! NOW WHAT?

What can the people on the grassroots level expect now? I hope it's not the same thing which is empty rhetoric. Let's not hope locally that our newly election politicians forget the struggle. The struggle to elect someone that will put our needs first instead of falling in love with politics. The loved at first sight can cause them to forget the motivation that inspired voters to show up at the poles. Some may even look at the numbers that didn't vote and assume that they don't owe the voters anything. This last election should serve as a lesson not only to the republicans but also the democrats. Many young African-Americans truly feel as though the democrats have taken their votes for granted. It seems that when it's election time they talk about our kitchen table issues to falsely motivate us. Once elected their only concern is staying in office even at the cost of selling us out! The situation is to the point that African-Americans are talking about leaving the democratic party. The arrogant politicians don't think that it can be done but the timing is right! I hope African-Americans don't have to go there but if they do it would be interesting. This would be the most powerful motivator because our trust is fading. As we saw with Michael Steele as a republican black will support the policy and not the party! Local democrats and statewide democrats performed badly in this election while the rest of the country they had the right election plan. There's a difference between northern democrats and southern democrats is that northern democrats do more for racial, social and cultural justice. Southern democrats had better get off the pot and get in step with the rest of the country.
