Despite the unfortunate comments by Hillary Clinton about the assasination of Robert F. Kennedy, we must stay focused on what truly matters. What she said was, at best, a reminder of a terrible time in our history, and, at worst, a suggestion that there may be a threat lurking out there.
Robert F Kennedy was not alone in his assasination during that time. From the John F Kennedy Assasination in Dallas to the assasinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr. and RFK--it became apparent that the America of the 1960s had decided to resolve our political differences violently.
Despite the uproar that has accompanied Senator Clinton's remarks, do not lose focus on what this campaign is about. This campaign has been about uniting people, bringing people together and working together through our political differences to find solutions for our common future.
We must not fail to act out of fear for ourselves or for Senator Obama. We must feel compelled to act to bridge the gaps that divide us. We must feel compelled to believe and have hope that our country is ready to make the changes need to restore our excellence as a "One Nation, under God, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all."
Believe in our hearts, and pray to the almighty you hold sacred, for a peaceful future for all of us. No one can stop the power of millions of voices calling for change--NO ONE.
Stay focused, keep fighting for Senator Obama and with our eyes on the prize we will see Victory in November. Do not let the careless words of anyone cause us to lose that drive, determination and focus on the goal of our common cause.
There is a bigger fight looming just keep your mind on that. That battle will be hard enough. Take the energy and the passion you have and direct it towards that end--not at the words of one we have already defeated.
