A message from my amazing friend Jon, aka The Dharma Traveler:
Republican or democrat, prolife or prochoice, power to the state or power to the federal government, If you preach national defense or if you fight for peace, regardless if you identify as a liberal or a conservative, the world is gazing upon one of the most important world events of not only our generation but of both past and future generations.
We live in a world of violence. We wage wars on two different fronts, one of which we have not seen the likes of since the Vietnam war. Unparalleled mounting national debt with no apparent end to spending; now surpassing ten trillion dollars. Our economy on the verge of what may be the next depression. Businesses failing on both main street and wall street. We face an energy deficiency with no current viable solution. We do not face these challenges over the next four years or eight years. These are challenges which will be a constant concern throughout the rest of our lives as well as our children’s lives. Issues which will not be resolved though a single law, bill, or amendment but will need to be addressed though continuous evaluation and improvement.
Over the next 24 hours we must not only look to our own values and morals. We must look at who will serve our country with the best intentions. Who will act as a true public servant. To build upon our nation to be the guiding light. To embrace the ideals that America was founded upon. We no longer have the convenience of simply relying on optimism. Now is the time to wage our own righteous war. Not a war against a foreign power, radical group, or political party. We must wage our war against apathy! Now is our time to exercise the privilege which makes us Americans. It is time to decide who you want fighting for your future.
I implore all of those that receive this call to arms to carry out that which is not only our right, or privilege, but our duty as Americans. Exercise the right which defines us as a democratic people. Carry out whatever actions necessary to vote for the next President of the United States of America.
This is for real… Do the right thing.
xoxo.
