Toward Our Brave, New World

Today Is the Day America Decides:

Do We Continue to Hide out in the Cold, Leaky Cave of the past fearful years?

Or Do We Strike Out as our forebears did?

America Is a Nation of Immigrants, as MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews recently described it. While others stayed put, stayed behind where they might have been miserable, but safe, our ancestors have in common that they took the risk, believing that they would find a better place.

Those Left Behind Remained Europeans, or Asians, or Africans.

But We Are the Americans. We take the big risks. We find better worlds. We make our world a better place.

We Do What Has to Be Done. When times get hard, we knuckle down and get to work. We fight the big fights. We win the big wars. We are the defenders and the saviors of the world. We giver real form to the big ideas. We share the wealth of capitalism and democracy. We go first, showing the rest of the world the way.

This Is Who the “Real Americans” Are.

This Is What Americans Always Do: We set out today—now—voting to reach our brave, new world.

BUT Some May Say:

“What Do We Really Know about Barack Obama?”

“Is He Safe?”

“Can We Trust Him?”

“What Do You Think Might Happen?”

AND We Respond, Saying:

“We Are the Americans.”

And We Pull the Lever Anyway.....

This Is What Americans Always Do:

We Set Out Now, voting to reach our brave, new world.
