Sitting here in Switzerland, it is excruciating to watch the days slowly pass before election. I have voted (yes we can!), and have given more than I should have, and will some more, but now must wait. And watching what is going on from outside the US, I just want to remind all of us to stay focused, and despite all we are reading, not to be over-confident. We must be hungry, we must bring this home. So give some more money, make sure to vote (and vote early!), and help others to get out to vote in any way you can!! (I know you are, but I'm just encouraging you!!).
We are voting for peace and justice. We are voting for jobs and a functioning economy. We are voting for our environment. We are voting for our children and grandchildren. We are voting for better relationships with the world! (They can't vote but want us to!!). We are voting for so much more.
But we need to beware - there are people who will vote for fear, for hate, for division, for bigotry - and they are motivated, because they know that their way of seeing and doing things is being seriously challenged. We want our country back!! Lets bring this home!!! (And thanks to the Dkos community and beyond for all the incredible work you have been doing - I learn something new everyday, and it keeps me connected!!).
