We are worried, nay despondent, about the state of our country and our world. Despondent for the children, our loved ones, and ourselves who will have to live with it all, come what may after November 2nd.
Simply, sincerely, and humbly we ask:
Who among you is willing to be a galvanizing figure for the Democratic Party and this country through November 2nd?
Who among you is willing to grab the banner, the drum, AND the cannon themselves and meet those who have, and would continue, to dishonor us all - with no quarter asked or given - and NO APOLOGIES made?
We do not need one more well-intentioned person to make a start across the river and stop halfway. At this point that would do more damage than good.
We realize what we ask for. A sacrifice. But it is not one we would not hesitate to make ourselves if we were in a position to do more and many of us are doing what we can and have made our own sacrifices, too. And this you know.
We're approaching the very last opportunity to raise a real battle cry. This game of inches everyone is playing right is not designed to gain a yard. It is childish and not very becoming of a country known till now for its respectability and pride.
So again we ask - who among you is willing to be a galvanizing figure through November 2nd?
Please don't respond here. Just do something sincere and commensurately and appropriately drastic. And please, please don't stop until they quit punching or you just can't punch anymore.
Refuse to be a martyr and you will a hero to us, and likely even to people who didn't know they could believe in heros anymore.
...which is something we need now more than ever.
