It seems to me that for once Americans have something in common. Immigration
Reform. Granted we may disagree on what that is, but I think we all feel it is
long overdue. So, let’s do something about it. Let’s use the one weapon we have
at a time when it is most effective – right before an election.
I am asking everyone who reads this to contact their Congressman, Senator,
Governor and then the President by text AND by email AND by heck even by snail
mail. Let them know just this:
“We the People want both parties to work together to resolve this immigration
issue. We want to see action born out of cooperation and negotiation between
the political parties, between the states and between the states and the
Federal government.”
Send this as a text to them and let them know that those who don’t cooperate to
solve a national AND humanitarian issue will not receive your vote.
Now I don’t proclaim this will work and that if it does that it will result in
precisely what you believe immigration should be, but at least something will
get done after decades of inaction and political show boating by both political
parties.
But what it may do is remind them that we do have power.
That each vote TOGETHER can create victory or defeat.
Short term protests seldom do anything after a few days. People forget and move
on to the next news issue. But our collective vote stings from election to
election. It leaves a mark that lasts. As a person we are often ignored but as
a people united, we cannot be ignored.
So, I ask you again to send that TEXT, EMAIL, CALL, SNAIL MAIL – heck do them
all and tell them you want a SUMMIT of elected officials to get together and do
SOMETHING to show us they can work together for the COMMON WELFARE of the
UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
I am sending mine right now.
Accept no paradigms. We must not be constrained by the barriers of our past. The past is our ladder to the present and the foundation of our stairway to a better future. All experiences, all our choices - good and bad, have led to our current point. The cliché: "You are who you choose to be."; is a perpetual decision bounded only by our paradigms of the past. Challenge them all! Some we may accept, others we may change and even change again.
