Lucky Number Seven. GO DEMS! Pleeeease!
Anybody out there that might be reading this, if you believe in a Higher Power, please light a candle or say a prayer or whatever you do that tomorrow brings us a (future) Democratic majority in the Senate. All of those who want to see change, all of those who have wished for it and dreamed of it and prayed for it, all of you have to know that if the Democrats get that majority we will see change. The Democrats have no choice. Really the Republicans have no choice. If the Republicans keep their majority with little or no change to their numbers and then they "stay the course", or if the Democrats gain the majority and do not have the guts to force some changes, the next election will see a political uprising. If the two major political parties are unwilling to listen to the people and make changes, then third parties will make great strides and we could very well see an Independent in the White House within the next two terms. That might be dangerous, but standing still is probably the most dangerous thing any government can do.
We the people will not stand by and let our democracy stagnate. If we must change it, then we will. We will find a majority that will listen and work with us, or we will change the laws and the way things are run and we will change them in a very big way. We can do it, we have done it in the past, and we will do it in the future.
We the people have taken enough. Now, we will take a stand. No matter what. We will not be frightened and we will not be pushed around. We will fulfill our duties as citizens, the main one being to preserve this Democratic Republic. Even if that means turning it into an Independent Democracy. Or something else entirely.
After tomorrow I will be stepping down from my soapbox and become a more gentle and congenial blogger. At least until the next big misstep by our government.
Let's all keep a good thought. Sleep well and have sweet dreams of a truly free and independent nation. Peace and good night. There's nothing more to say.
