I simply had to share this with those among us who are displeased with their elected officials who haven't fixed it all yet.
The sacrifices we are called on to make are small. Donating money until it hurts, making phone calls, going door-to-door don't amount to much in the scheme of things. The idea we have to get across is that the barbarians actually are at the gates in the form of the modern Republican Party. We honor our predecessors for making much bigger sacrifices, often under much, much worse leadership, to hold off other barbarians. Now it's our turn

| For those who don't like the way the people they elected legislate and govern, who feel they haven't done enough, haven't moved fast enough, haven't used the bully pulpit enough, haven't somehow forced or persuaded the rest of the folks in DC to do it the way you wanted, just remember what the alternative is. We have been watching the other side grow increasingly shrill and get further and further toward the abyss of sheer craziness or worse, violence against their fellow citizens. I don't care how disappointed you are, get out there and make sure the Republicans don't take over Congress or the NH legislature. If you think it is bad now, you haven't seen anything yet. |
