Refuse to remain silent



The game changer will be 2014. This is where we need a concentrated effort right now. The year 2016 is in the future. I wish to concentrate on what we have to do today. Today we need feet on the ground and a determined spirit to make it happen. There are huge issues at stake, our future and the future of our children are in peril, all the children. Our mothers and fathers, everyone of us is in jeopardy.

It's time, damn it it is past time to make our voices heard. I know some believe it will never happen, yet I see that as a defeatist attitude. No! Your glass is not half empty, it is half full. Together we can make that glass fill.

Something is happening, it truly is. People are standing up and saying no, no more. There is a war out there, it is being waged by an extreme faction of the GOP. We can stop this, we must stop it. I know, we are fighting huge money, it's dirty and it's evil. Sad to say we are up against a GOP SCOTUS. The people that are supposed to be impartial are partisan. Yet we can not just sit back and go quietly into the night.

The quiet rage is building, our voices need to be heard, this is our test. Let's surpass expectations. As I stated this is our time.

Rise up America.

The person next to you stands, then you follow.

Thanks Scuba, great quote from Gloria Steinem!
