Today was the first time in my life I proactively canvassed for a politician. I am very happy that I put my frustration with our country’s political climate into action. Forward motion. In a weird way I felt total empowerment. It was exhilarating to move from house to house, street to street, neighborhood to neighborhood leaving behind something that I believe in. And what do I believe in? I believe in a government that is for the people must be made up of people that look like those they represent.
What good is a government for the people if they can’t relate to the people they represent? As a 56 year old white woman, who just now woke up, I may not see the benefits of my and others actions in this lifetime. While still living this life though at least I have gained some sense of control in combatting the madness.
Why is there so much hate toward one another in this world? Why are we so afraid of each other? I cannot wait until this white male dominated America becomes a caleidescope of colors. White men are so afraid of losing power over people of color and women. They can try to hold on as long as they want but time is on the side of those that are not white, or rich or men. We are becoming a nation browner by the minute and those old white guys are becoming more obsolete by the very same minute. Tick tock!
