I don't usually get "political". I'm not one to sit & debate policies for hours. But it's Sunday night, November 2, 2008. In a little more than 48 hours our nation will make a decision that will affect life as we know it in more ways than we can imagine. When the balloons have all dropped, the last ballot has been cast & the final confetti streams to the ground, we will either be poised to welcome the first black President or the first woman Vice-President. What a time to be alive!
God knows that this nation deserves judgment, but maybe He will be merciful & spare us once more "on behalf of the fifty".
I believe the "Cause Greater Than Ourselves" campaign represents the true heart of America. You may disagree with that and that is your right as an American. I'm going to volunteer my time & energy in the "battleground state" of Florida. I'm going to step out of my shelter & call folks that probably don't want to hear from me. But I'm going to do it because I think it's important to own my vote. It's necessary to sacrifice for freedom, no matter how small the contribution may seem.
I don't have a billion dollars to bankroll a campaign, heck I'll be scraping up the cash to put gas in the tank to get there & back. But I am going to give what I have for something I believe in. That's what makes America great. We, the people, give of ourselves for the "greater good" of our fellow Americans, even those with whom we have political differences.
So call the cell phone if you need me but please leave a message if I can't answer it. And when Tuesday gets here, by all means necessary...get out and VOTE!!!
