The difficulty we are experiencing in this 21st century gives us reason to pause reflectively in recognition that there are those who have been or are seeking public office whose agenda is not very heroic. They are programmed by the “money changers” about whom we were warned centuries ago. They are the users up and abusers of the great gifts, of this exceptional “work in progress,” we call America. To be sure, they are convincing imitators of goodness, while profaning our faith and feigning patriotism. However they are not the good guys, for good guys do not look down on us from on high, while saying “no” to our Asking, Seeking & Knocking for a more secure footing in every way. From the shadows they keep us focused on personal problems and fearful of what tomorrow may bring. For in re-directing our preoccupation to what we think has been, they get back in!

What shadowy puppeteers fear most is consistency with Ghandi, FDR, Bobby, “Abraham, Martin & John,” who saw things not as they were, but might have been. A good man under constant fire, President Obama stubbornly fights to keep "the Ship of State" afloat in a sea left mined by lesser men. Americans love to bestow heroic status to many with less than heroic intentions. Like our votes, Presidents have been both good & bad for America, so perhaps we should worship less, and research more when choosing them. Too often polls reflect overreaction to misconceived expectations. So unless we wish to have our lives, the security of our children’s future and our Nation’s International Dignity muddied in the sludge of tyranny again, we need to stop believing in corporate owned “talking heads” and the National panic they beam, in the wake of a recurring Nixon, Bush and Cheney theme.

Create thinking time so we’re not herded, but heard. Stop looking back to a 1950’s tea time that never was. Purge, cleanse and purify ourselves of the devastation we inherited from our recent antics in the Bushes. Walk away from the banking institutions on which we bet the lives of our children. Turn down the volume, turn off the rhetoric and stop trusting those whose negative ads warp truth. Cease our mindless voting in reaction to media manipulation. Never, ever, ever again be duped by those who, like Rove & Woo, wipe their dirty shoes on our Constitution. Yes, we need another Massachusetts Democrat in the Senate, not because it’s a “Kennedy seat,” but because America needs responsible Health Care provision and not Republicans who keep us in the dark and on the run. Shine your light on the strings of their shadowy puppeteers, or else we are “left behind,” looking backwards in our mirrors. In the midst of a world, where dirt poor earthquake victims left with nothing, are pulled out of rubble singing praise, we must ask, is America still “The Home of the Brave?”

It’s all in the marketing, and Americans, looking for quick solutions are being duped by pretty faces, when what we really need is to support “Men of Reason.” Looking like our TV image of Superman, does not make a candidate a “Man of the People.” Arian Model looking Conservatives, like Scott Brown & Bob McDonnell are chosen for us for their TV camera appeal. You see, GOP Conservatives protect the status quo, because the status quo protects them. However, for Americans to move upward in an America that moves forward, we need to vote for substance, not whitewashing revisions of history, served up by superficial “suits.” “We the People,” need to Think Progressively, if we are to progress happily & securely throughout this new century. To prosper we need to be seen, counted and respected again. This is what “United We Stand” must mean.

In 2008, after our National government’s moral earthquake, the man from Hawaii said, “follow me” on a path we need to walk before we can run again. Given time, this vision will “Preserve, Protect and Defend." Our new President needs to count on us to be the Hero we all can be. If instead, after only a year we run scared, frightening Conservatives projecting misinformation into our homes with spewing dribble from “talking heads” who regurgitate “Mission Accomplished talking points,” will win by insuring American families lose. In 2010, in Massachusetts, in the Census, in mid-term Elections all across “the Land of the Free,” “We the People” must be our own Heroes and “Let Freedom Ring.”

Giving HOPE a helping hand,
