Are you disaffected because hope didn’t come true with the wave of a hand? If you drop out of the political process, what happens?
Those tea party mobs win. Those who obstruct win. Those sophists who lie win.
Hope endures only if you persist in its pursuit.
Welcome back.
Change does not come in an instant, perhaps only in cataclysm.
In politics change is not on demand even if in demand.
Giving up the fight — surrendering to apathy — guarantees that change will be vaporous.
Change must be a passion. Vote like your ballot mark is a weapon.
Or does hope?
Set aside the partisanship this first day after an historic election.
Fear? Or hope?
Hope won yesterday.
But don’t rule out fear. When campaigning fear, the message must be specific, tangible and authentic — a narrower field of view.
Hope has greater freedom to roam — to stir — the imagination.
