The second Presidential Debate is going on about now, or so I’d guess. I’m not watching. My guy wasn’t invited … again.
Live Free. Live free, my friends. Live free.
As of this moment Gary Johnson will not become President of the United States. Libertarian candidates in general will not win many elections for Senator, Governor, Congressman, or much of anything else at a national or state level.
The world is approaching a crisis and a great man once told a nation that the only thing they had to fear was fear itself. The closer we get to this crisis the more fear paralyzes us into inaction.
Are you afraid of Obama? Are you afraid of Romney? Are you afraid of Iran getting nuclear weapons? Are you afraid for Social Security? Is your fear driving your vote?
Are you willing to sacrifice your freedom for the illusion of safety?
Are you afraid of “throwing your vote away”?
Are you absolutely certain you’re right? Are you sure the other guy is wrong? Do you skip listening and reading other points of view?
If so, then we don’t want you now, but we hope you’ll give up on fear and join us.
We want people who know that a vote a Gary Johnson is a vote for Gary Johnson. We want people who understand that hardship is part of life. We want people who think it’s not wrong to help those who are suffering. We want people who are willing to work with those who don’t agree with them. We want people who listen to the other side of an argument. We want people who know it’s easy to make a mistake, who are willing to admit a mistake, who are willing to forgive someone else for making a mistake. We want people who know there are no easy answers and anyone trying to sell them is a charlatan.
If you are afraid; then you should feel right at home in the United States of America, the land where fear mongering wins elections and reasonable compromise is forgotten.
We can change everything. Every election we get that opportunity. We might not make change this time, or next time, but we’re here, and we’re not giving up.
