Dear Friends, Family and Fans,
I just wanna testify that I am in no way tired. In some ways I'm too fired to be tired. I remember being motivated over a decade ago, by the man who would become our president, when he said and we chanted that we were, "Fired up and ready to go." Well, there were groups of people and are groups of people who had/have other ideas about how to snuff out the fire, rather than allow it to ignite. And when ignited want to take a fire hose and snuff it out.
I'm still ready to go.
I will not allow the negativity and ugliness we have been subjected to snuff out the embers of hope for a better America. I invite us not to turn off, but to turn on to a process with the potential to make a difference, rather than lay dormant in despair and hopelessness.
Voting matters. We the people make the difference.
Our fight for the right to vote, our ancestors lost their lives, jobs, homes and health, for this right cannot be overstated.
We can't afford to be tired. We must get re-fired up. We must overcome our cynicism, and even our disgust.
We can't stop now!
Love and realness,
