i am in the city of bridgeport. my may 62-year-old. i just tell became a senior citizen. have been a community activist for over 40 years. it troubles me that my website www.cecilyoung.com, i have three cases in court for me being terminated three different times for speaking out on behalf of people of other cities. it troubles me that we keep electing people that look like you and me, but when it comes time to dealing with the issues that got them into a position of authority, they seem to forget what they come from. and i'm tired of being told that we should not support leadership when they are speaking out about what's happening with the people. when they are talking how about gun violence in our neighborhoods, it is because of people that have risen from power that forgot where they came from. and because of that, white flight is on the increase and those that -- and others cannot get out. why have we not been motivated our people to get registered to vote or teaching them the value of the vote and how to make it work for them the same way it works for white folks? ho

host: let us go to the democratic line from bridgeport, conn. good morning. caller: good morning.bama administration has been providing a lot of assistance to iran and israel. i think they have kept the situation at bay. however, perhaps we might have some nato intervention in syria, but what i am leaning towards is how do you see romney, a staunch support from his trial -- how you see him figuring into the mix? could we have another war leading to more stagnation of our economy? thank you. guest: good question. i do not think there is a huge difference between romney's foreign-policy and obama's foreign policy vis-a-vis the middle east. i do not think the romney administration would be more likely to intervene militarily in the area. like obama, there is a bipartisan focus these days on trying to reduce our footprint in the middle east and focus more on improving the american economy and doing nation- building at home. i would not release the a key change if the romney administration would come to office. romney's advisers certainly are supporters of the u.s.-israel alliance. you
