John McCain and his campaign have decided to wrestle the mantle of Change from the Obama campaign.
So the question is - what do we do? What do we, those of us who pushed change for months, who made the concept of change strong, and powerful, and so very clearly inevitable, do to grab our fire back?
It’s simple. We differentiate. Because if what McCain is offering is “change”, do we really want to be associated with that? Do we want our movement to really be swirled in with the muck and gunk of the Republican party platform that’s lead us to be hated around the world? Despised by our allies and enemies alike. The party that’s destroyed our economy, who has stretched our military so thin, made our dollar and strength dissipate so far that we can no longer stand up to countries like Bolivia or Venezuela.
McCain augmented the concept of change with a word - a word that had some cache associated with it - and was a great marketing ploy: reform
But reform just means to change things slightly. To keep things the same, but make a few modifications. Is that what we want? Is that what we want our agent, our ambassador Barack Obama, to bring to Washington? That sort of mindset? No, we want more. And the words change and reform are too weak.
What we want, what we need, what we desire is something more powerful. Something that’s been coming a long time. Something that is necessary for America to turn the corner into the future, and turn back the tide of the massive the wealth transfer to China, Russia and the Middle East, leaving our own workers and our own country in the gutter.
We demand REVOLUTION.
Let that sink in for a second, let it grow on you. I’ll wait.
Done? Good. Because we don’t have a lot of time to waste. There’s more to this whole thing than just some election, some “silly” game as Barack Obama has called it. What’s going on here is the absolute fate of our great nation, and we’re facing a ruling class that doesn’t care about the people. No longer is America a country “For the People and By the People” as it was originally established. Instead it’s a country where the people work to make the corporations stronger, even as they take our jobs away, remove our manufacturing, squash ingenuity in the small business sector, and stifle the innovation that’s always made America that shining beacon just over the horizon.
We need REVOLUTION.
Not the kind where we raise up arms against our brothers. Our country is stable, strong, and though recent information may be hinting at fraudulent voter practices rearing their ugly heads once again, our peaceful nation can enact a revolution using nothing more than a chad pushed all the way through a piece of paper. Because if enough of us want it, if enough of us push and strive for it, if enough of us hit the pavement and demand it, no amount of voter fraud or slanderous ads full of lies and deceit will be able to stop the the coming maelstrom.
Our upcoming election is larger than one issue. Or two issues. Or even a dozen issues. It’s about every issue, every facet of our lives, every person in our country, and the roads we’re going down. We have an American spirit, a love for freedom that goes beyond anything the world can imagine. We rose against the British when it seemed impossible. We fought our own brothers over land and slavery when it was necessary for true change to take place.
Revolution is nothing new for America. Revolution is America. Barack Obama, I ask you to take on this mantle of Revolution. To send a message to the cheap seats, the high dollar seats, the valleys, the mountains, the suburbs, the urban areas, and the farms of America.
If you’re unhappy with your lot in life, you must embrace someone who will act on your behalf. Who will work to be your agent of change. Who will be your Ambassador of Revolution.
