The Convention may be Canned and Pre-recorded but the Passion and the Mission is Real…
This is not 2016. It is not 1933. This is 2020 and the plot is still being written as we speak. Will Trump manage to find a way to “rig” the election by suppressing the vote? Will he order his goons from Homeland Security to put us all down so that he can keep his job and stay out of jail? Will he use the courts and every trick he has learned to delay his defeat while he searches for a way to stop the democratic process from removing him? The answer is unknown. But what is known is that you can be an important part of the answer that history is is awaiting.
During the last four years it seems like there has been a never-ending escalation of cruelty, stupidity, ineptitude and evil emanating from the White House. Most of us have been disgusted by it and have wished for a way to make it stop and go away forever. The impeachment and the Mueller Report gave some people the idea that somehow there might be some form of justice coming, some kind of reckoning.
We all know that that the reckoning did not come. Yet. In many ways the opposite did. The cruel, stupid evil banality of Donald Trump blanketed the US like a snow covered morning with slime and corruption oozing over all of us instead of pure white snow. The feeling has been nearly unbearable.
That is all going to change – one way or another. Soon. There’s an election coming. Either that or something much more dramatic. Let’s hope for the Post Office to function just enough to get us through this. Go in person if you can, as Michelle Obama emphasized in her riveting, inspirational speech last night.
The way is clear and the job is set. A turnout so large and so virulently anti-Trump will be needed to make sure that there is zero chance that this man can spend even one second longer than legally mandated in the office he holds due to a mistake of history.
“But let’s be clear: going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountain top. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are one nation under God, and if we want to survive, we’ve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences”.

View the video above featuring Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Bruce Springsteen and people just like you. Listen to the speeches and think about what is being said. Then get anyone and everyone involved and enlist help if you need it or give help – this is an emergency situation that can not be taken lightly. Until the election is decided and the way is clear, this is the only story that matters.
“the future of our democracy is at stake, the future of our economy is at stake, the future of our planet is at stake. We must come together to defeat Donald Trump and elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next president and vice president. My friends, the price of failure is just too great to imagine”.
