Our system
is experiencing political gridlock and Americans are angry. I get it. One man
alone may have not caused it, and for certain no one man alone can fix it. We
need more than rhetorical catch phrases and circus-antic rantings by those
dominating the media during this all-important election year. We need leaders
who will work together, leaders who encourage and inspire, not those who incite
and denigrate.
Will we, the
people, do what is right for all Americans not just the wealthy the
institutionally and politically powerful? The world is watching. Will the
United States get it right?
I am wary of
and discouraged by those who would encourage us to build a box and live within
the confines of our fears, to limit the expansion of ideas and discoveries for
the advancement and betterment of mankind and his environment.
I long for
the visionaries, those such as Martin Luther King who had a dream: “I still
have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the American dream – one day this nation
will rise up and live up to its creed, "We hold these truths to be self
evident: that all men are created equal;" men such as Robert Kennedy who
said: “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why? I
dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”
We the
people, Republican, Democrat, Independent, Conservative, Progressive and Moderate,
we the people of every color, persuasion and creed have a responsibility to
keep the light of freedom, liberty and equality shinning for the world to see.
