I have been thinking about what a wonderful campaign season this has been. Granted it has been long and drawn out, but it has been wonderful. It has been wonderful because we have seen the American people come back to life after having their hopes, patriotism, and participartory spirit killed by the corrupt politics of our times. Barack Obama has been like a food program for a straving people. He has fed us with staples of true patriotism, with encouragment to take back our government, and with renewed hope in the future.
We have seen whites, blacks, hispanics, first Americans, and various Asians take a step toward uniting as one American people. We have never been called to this before! We have been called to tell the truth about our own bigotry and narrow mindedness. We have been called to political adulthood. Could things be any better?
In the next few weeks and months our resolve, unity, and new life will be tested sorely by the opposition. I want to be the first to say that I will not allow myself to be shut out of the democratic process again. I will not allow myself to be divided from my fellow Americans based upon race, creed, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs again. I will make new friends and become a friend to many.
I will hold my representatives accountable to the people on every level - from state representatives to national. No longer will they be able to go into backrooms and make deals against my interest. I will no longer settle for voting for the lesser of two evils for president. I am ready to take back my government. I am ready to take back my life. I am ready to take back the dream of a united, United States.
I am ready are you? Get ready!
