Immigration, dissatisfaction with government are the primary concerns for Americans

Most Americans have common sense. They see what is happening on the southern border and they see the rampant lying and corruption in government. They know it is wrong and they want it to stop. They see America crumbling before their eyes.

According to a recent Gallup poll, concerns about immigration have surged to the top of the list of perceived problems along with mistrust of government. Americans rightfully are seeing that their elected leaders either don't know what they are doing or they are deliberately doing things that are not in their best interest. I believe the latter is true with respect to the Obama Administration and the Establishment in Washington that includes the country-club Republicans. Middle class Americans are being badly represented by these elite special interests.

I talk about both issues in a Discovering Possibilities show that will air next week, "My state of the union 2014". We need a popular uprising to unseat these craven opportunists.
