This is something I know . . .

THE WORLD WILL BE DIFFERENT FOUR YEARS FROM NOW! This is one thing I know; what I don't know is which way the pendulum will swing. If things go the way I want them too, Barack Obama will be our president and things will move more to the left then they have in the history of our country. Things we have to look forward to include: Health care for everyone, a better standing in a greatly degraded worldview, a transparent - accountable governing body that fears the poeple - not people that fear thier government; and in general a change from the nightmare that has been the last eight years. Things we have to fear: John McCain! And, as we watch the upcoming presidential race from our computer screens and televisions, a little bit of action from all of us who care could not hurt a bit. I know most of you live in Washington - a state that will surely "go Obama" - but maybe its time that we do more to influence the people, counties, and states that wont "go Obama." This might be the last real chance to turn the history of our country. I can not express enough how things will go from bad to worse if we elect another "war mongering conservative" to the White House. The USA will continue to be a target by global radicals and "terrorists," Canadians who travel will still feel it important to put thier flag on thier backpacks so as not to be confused with Americans, and we will not take the torch and become a leader in the upcoming "green revolution." This is our destiny and if you can't see it, your not paying attention - to both history, and the future - becuase this is the only direction the world can go right now. So as we stare at TV screens, with laptops on our laps, checking cellphones for text messages; WAKE UP! We have become dissconnected from the rest of humanity and our reality in in this consumer society is that of prisoners with manufactured higs and lows that dependant on silly things like, gas prices, stimulus checks, digital TV conversions, home prices, technology trends, student loans, and an endless list of other things that should not be influencing happiness. Look to your families, loved ones, and the rest of the rewarding human connections that should be the only source of happiness. I beg you, all of you, anyone that will listen, anyone that has read this far to not let John McCain be elected in November; I swear on everything I know and hold sacred that this is a turning point for the United States and the world; and if we don't take this seriously now, we might not have another chance!
