Coming to the full realization that everything I believed for so long about our government, has been a lie, has been nothing short of chilling. They do not have our best interests at heart. I guess I have been aware of it for awhile, especially their constant efforts to keep us fighting each other.
If we want to have any positive impact, we have to stop pointing our fingers at everyone else. We must take ownership over the part we've played in where we find ourselves today.
We were content to let government handle things, assuming our chosen party was right and the other party was wrong. This oversimplistic idea left us asleep at the wheel.
We were content to leave school boards to their own devices, never imagining they would make the teaching of reading, writing and arithmetic optional, and instead focused on corrupting the minds and hearts of our children.
We were content to let someone else volunteer in the classrooms, at the polls, the food pantries and the senior centers; leaving a vacuum in which bad actors happily filled the void. We wrongly assumed that people in authority were directed by the same moral compass that keeps us on the straight and narrow.
Many of us are awake now and see that the drivers of this clown car are headed straight for the edge of the cliff. It's now or never for us to stand up and take back what we gave away through our own apathy. I am admitting to you that I am as guilty as anyone.
I believe we are "on purpose" creations and we are here...in this time...for a reason. We are meant to be here and we face a choice...continue as we have, apathetic, detached, blaming everyone else, or…we can choose to allow these abominations to awaken the sleeping giants within us.
We have to stop fighting each other and collectively declare that enough is ENOUGH.
It stops now.
It stops with ME.
I won't engage in useless finger pointing, allowing myself to become nothing more than another victim of the machine. I won’t play their game any longer.
I will stand up.
I will speak up.
I will help my fellow man rise up and together we will change the direction of this country. It begins with me and it begins with you.
Will you stand with me?
