Go Vote

America needs you today. It's not any secret who I want you to vote for, but it's important that you get off the couch, step away from work and VOTE! Today, Americans will decide if they want to stay on the difficult path to the future or do a 180 and scamper back to the safety of the 1950s. I fear that too many will choose the latter, but if enough people turn out, we could stem the tide of lies and fear-mongering and keep America focused on our bright future.

Every election, Americans must make choices. And rarely are they as black and white as they are portrayed. Republican candidates and the Republican party have some good ideas for fixing our country. They also have a lot of bad ones, and worse, they're willing to scare you into believing that the best thing for our country is to run away from the future and hide in a fog of nostalgia.

Though it's easy to find safety in the way things were, we can't live in the past. Americans must look forwards, not backwards. It's a sign of fearfulness to be constantly looking over one's shoulder. America is not a country of fear, it's a country of hope. The future is bright, but we must make sure that the people we select to lead us into that future actually want to go there. Because if we pick the people who would rather pine for the 1950s, or worse, the 1790s than look forward to the 2020s then we'll find ourselves living in the shadows of our former greatness.
