I believe in America, don’t you? I am proud to be an American, you should be too. I believe in public service, and don’t think politics was ever meant to be a career. I believe in the potential each of us has within because we are human beings. I also believe that what we can do and accomplish is personal, and that it’s up to each of us to shape our own destinies. The person in the mirror is the responsible one, not someone else or the government.
More than anything else about America, I believe in liberty and the power we each have when we vote. As I state in the title for the
Voting Alert Beacons blog, when we vote, each of us becomes a “Lighthouse To Keep Honesty, Public Service, and Democracy Safe.”
So, I’m only one and not famous. If you have doubts, I understand. However, others have been one, and even now they reach forward in time to us with the wisdom we starve for. Believe them!
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” ― Robert F. Kennedy
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.
