Conflict
I'm very conflicted. In the here & now, we DO need to fight, resist, & stand up for what we believe is right & in keeping with 238 years of steady progress. To that end, however, I am working the long game. To "promote the general welfare", ALL Americans need to benefit from the rights endowed in the Constitution, regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic status. To accomplish that, we need to facilitate a respectful dialogue with accurate information and historical perspective.
We need to ensure that Americans can avoid misinformation when choosing their leaders. We need to ensure that Americans understand how our Federal government works and the indispensable services it provides. We need to ensure that all Americans know where to get solutions to their most critical problems. We need to understand and resolve the plight of forgotten, marginalized and disenfranchised populations. Year after year. Election after election. Generation after generation.
Hate has hijacked our society. The wealthiest Americans think they have all the power. They don't. 330 million citizens do. Friends, families and communities. Let's bridge the toxic partisan divide. Let's return respect to our civil discourse.
Let's Talk and Save America.
