Elena Campbell: Let's find some issues that unite Americans go to article
To the Editor:
The divisions along political party lines reach their crescendos during election seasons. To be sure, we cannot escape the duopoly system that the two major parties have created for themselves.
I say duopoly because when we take a close look at the major policies of war and finance in Washington, many of us begin to recognize that there is little difference at the top. I've seen bad Republican policies of bailouts, pre-emptive wars, and expanding government accelerate under this Democratic administration.
