The big day is tomorrow. I discovered DU by a fluke really. In the aftermath of Sept 11 - and with growing disillusionment of Bushco particularily with the Iraqfiasco - I began to search for like minded individuals. I guess I didn't want to think that all of America was going all rightwing weird. Thankfully, DU provided an avenue to discuss what was happening and also strategies for dissent and frank open discussion.
To all my American friends - good luck tomorrow. GOTV, don't give up, fight for this...and then the entire world will see the outstanding benefits of a true democracy in action. This is the one avenue that everyday people have one chance, one voice, one vote for change. By voting tomorrow, and by encouraging every single person you meet to do likewise is an example of democracy at its best. The entire world is watching. When you succeed in dethroning Mr.Bush and rejecting his pre-emptive policies of warmongering, you will send a loud and clear voice across the entire globe. Democracy prevails. Fighting for peace wins everytime over growling for war.
I have no direct voice in this election. I, as many other DU'ers are not American - but I can encourage all of you, congratulate all of you for such an incredible story of triumph and unification against a bitter enemy. This IS the election of your lifetime. This IS ultimate test of the democratic ideal.
Take care, stay safe, and PARTICIPATE...oh yeah, when Kerry is called as winner - have a drink for me!
