Or; When the going gets tough, the tough get involved
Last night I attended an “Ask Me About Barack” happy hour in down on Houston Street. My experience was amazing.
I entered the bar looking to bash Hillary with my fellow Obama supporters. But, it didn’t turn out that way. A few volunteers from New Hampshire were there and gave a talk and a speech. They opened the floor to questions. Immediately I asked “What are we going to do about Hillary.”
“We’re not concerned about Hillary,” they said. “Hillary is Hillary, we expected these tactics from her. We’re going to win South Carolina, we’re going to win more delegates on the 5th and we’re going to take this movement across the country and win… and in Denver, Hillary will give a very nice concession speech.”
Not satisfied, I implored “How are we going to fight back?” I wanted strategy.
But, there was none. “We can’t out-Clinton the Clintons. The Change comes from the bottom up.”
And then it dawned on me. I was reminded of Mahatma Gandhi’s great quote, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” It’s a popular quote, I even have a magnet on my fridge with that quote on it. Only, typically “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” is quoted. The most important part here is the “YOU MUST”.
YOU MUST get involved. YOU MUST attend an event. YOU MUST go to the rallies. YOU MUST talk to your friends and family about Barack. YOU MUST convince people. YOU MUST know the issues and where you stand. YOU MUST write your local papers. YOU MUST do it. It’s not good enough to simply say you’re being the change. YOU MUST be the change.
I implore you all, get involved. Are you donating? Are you attending events? Are you talking to undecided voters? Are you trying to convince your friends of Obama’s promise? Or are you just pissed of that Hillary is being Hillary.
Hillary is going to be Hillary, there’s nothing we can do except get more votes than her. YOU MUST be the change if you want the world to change, and YOU MUST be the change RIGHT NOW!!!
