Do not let the media or the    establishment make you pick from the people they choose, but    instead choose from those they do not pick. Pick a leader from    among the people who is heart-driven, one who identifies with    the common man on the street and understands what the country    needs on every level. Do not pick a leader who is only    money-driven and does not understand or identify with the    common man, but only what corporations need on every level.  <\/p>\n<p>    Pick a peacemaker. One who unites, not divides. A cultured    leader who supports the arts and true freedom of speech, not    censorship. Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and    airlines, but also families from losing their homes -- or jobs    due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader    who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and    allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy    over war. An honest broker in foreign relations. A leader with    integrity, one who says what they mean, keeps their word and    does not lie to their people. Pick a leader who is strong and    confident, yet humble. Intelligent, but not sly. A leader who    encourages diversity, not racism. One who understands the needs    of the farmer, the teacher, the doctor, and the    environmentalist -- not only the banker, the oil tycoon, the    weapons developer, or the insurance and pharmaceutical    lobbyist.  <\/p>\n<p>    Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering    companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one    who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor    when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a leader who    will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons.    Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not    ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos.    Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not    discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not    superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not    secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement    and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.  <\/p>\n<p>    Most importantly, a great leader must serve the best interests    of the people first, not those of multinational corporations.    Human life should never be sacrificed for monetary profit.    There are no exceptions. In addition, a leader should always be    open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does    not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty    hands to be revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is    dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only    a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for    scrutiny allows a good leader to be an even greater leader.  <\/p>\n<p>    And lastly, pick a leader who will make their citizens proud.    One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons    and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their    leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great,    when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming    future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And    in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their    leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a    bribe.
