public service announcement.
hi all,
this is a public service announcement.
i know that everyone is all stressed out about the presidential campaign, and that a lot of people are working on the side of john kerry..
but.
george w. became so powerful not because all of a sudden the right took power at the top.. no, george w. has become so powerful because there has been a slow but sure shift to the evangelical right at all levels of government. yes, from your school board and city council to your state house and senate and then on up.
we need to pay attention to the races that are not so sexy. we need to pay attention to what is going on in our very communities, we need to pay attention to the candidates who are out knocking on our doors every weekends, reminding you how important their races are to not only the livability of your individual communities, but also to the liveability of the country.
please read your newspapers and pay attention. please notice who the guy standing on the corner shaking hands at the local school bake off is.. find out why they are running and what they represent. do your research and make an educated, thoughtful, insightful vote for those who run your cities, counties, and states.
if we can take back the local, taking back the national is going to be a hell of a lot easier.
