Open Letter to Politicians

An open letter to politicians.

Find your honor, find your courage, rise above partisan politics, and work together to resolve the issues this country faces. Somewhere between what a true democrat believes and what a true republican believes is common political ground that will benefit this country and the citizens that you all were elected to represent. Otherwise the common ground we share will be the same graveyard where other cultures and societies reside.
We the people, not we the corporations, are what sustain this country. We the people, not we the special interest groups, live and die believing in our flag, our constitution, our country, and each other. I do not hate and disregard my fellow citizens if they disagree with me, I do love and care for my fellow citizens because we share a common faith in what America means and what it should represent to the rest of the world, “a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
Democracy and citizens make capitalism possible. Capitalism and corporations do not make democracy possible.
Divided we are weak. Divided we fail. Divided we fall. Furthermore if we allow personal beliefs, special interests, and politics to divide us, than we all accomplish more in a day than any terrorist could do in a month of 9/11s to our country. What in your political history has brought you to the point where your political interests trump those of America’s interests?
Four thousand Americans die each year on the job and thousands more are injured. Hundreds of military personnel die each year and thousands are injured. Certainly their lives and injuries amount to more than your own personal political death or injury if it should occur because you are willing to sacrifice to improve our country. What more incentive do you need than honor? What more satisfaction can you enjoy than accomplishing real results? What better legacy can you leave than an America that is whole, an America that is strong, and an America that can be seen as a beacon of freedom, rather than another collapsed society?
Follow or get out of the way because you all certainly aren’t leading.
