Let's Get Busy!

Ladies and Gentlemen of all persuasions... I hear too many of you complaining about how life is mistreating you. Especially, that the Democratic party does not work for you.

Have you registered to vote? Checked your voter registration? Do you vote in as close to every election as possible?  Have you communicated with your elected officials (briefly, courteously and reasonably often)?

Seems like a lot to ask of you... However, it really does not take all that long with the Internet and e-mail tools available these days. You already knew these things unless you are one of those folks described in the first paragraph, who hasn't attempted any of these things.

If you don't do any of the aforementioned, suggested things, how do you expect Democrats to know what you want? What you need? You're expecting a clairvoyant to just magically be able to know all and do exactly what you want; every where, all the time.

If that describes your lack of activity in your own best interest, you're your own worst nightmare.

Your job is too tough and doesn't pay the bills, provide the benefits you and your family need...  So, did you join a union? Did you ever think to organize with your co-workers to petition for what you, and everyone else, really are expecting in return for your  hard work?

Once again, you might be the problem if you are expecting that what you want will just magically happen!

Are you surprised when things just don't automatically go the way you want?

If you can't be bothered to make a modest effort for yourself, for your own life, you are the reason that you will always be disappointed.

One of the loudest, and most consistently present voices in America are African-American, women!  But they don't have the numbers to do it all by themselves.

In the last Presidential election they could not carry the most qualified candidate to victory, not only because they have insufficient numbers on their own, but also because misogyny and racism worked against them.

We, Americans, are literally in the worst of times, because too many of us could not be bothered to show up and act in our own best interest.

We all need to stand up, look around, find the team that's most likely to work with, and for, us (a union and the Democrats) and get busy.

Democracy doesn't happen  on it's own, and isn't self sustaining... If we, each and every one of us, can't be bothered to at least show up we will always be saddled with what someone else wants.

We need to get all of our back sides in gear, join together, and let's create the society that works as well as is possible for all of us.

Let's get this done!
