A FEW CHANGES!

A LIGHTHOUSE TO KEEP DEMOCRACY SAFE (new subtitle)

The Voting Alert Beacons were born during the spring of 2012.  Their purpose and direction  has remained constant.  However, after two national election cycles, with a third now upon us, their velocity continues to increase, and the voter  actions they advocate are even more relevant than ever.

Another gratifying happenstance is that international interest has been increasing.  Fully one half of the people who have viewed The Voting Alert Beacons have been from places outside the USA.  This list includes Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.  

A special note about India must include three interesting facts:  1)  If America is the oldest working democracy (beginning in 1776), then India is the largest (1+ billion people), 2)  The preamble to both the US Constitution and the Indian Constitution begins with WE THE PEOPLE, and 3)  History will record that at a time when mankind is awkwardly stumbling into the future, both American and India provided solid democratic anchors on opposite sides of the planet (a fact world leaders may not yet recognize and appreciate).

LISTEN / IGNORE SWITCH 

Take note of the new graphic on the Beacon #3 page.  Hopefully, the “switch” will give you a strong visual reminder to Listen to positive candidates who have a positive message, and talk positively.  In reverse, remember to Ignore or “turn off” those candidates who DON’T.

Honesty and public service are the gears that drive our democracy, and we turn those gears with our RIGHT TO VOTE.   LET’S ALL VOTE!

. . .  remember that America’s best days aren’t behind her.   America’s best days are ahead of her.  They always have been and always will be.
