Sometimes the smallest word or action can turn things upside down or inside out no matter where you are. As we leave the month of July we are confronted by all the things we meant to do before the summer ends. We begin August thinking of all the things we still need to do before another season begins. One of those things we need to do right now.
Today get ready to vote in the 2018 primary elections!
Primary Elections may seem pointless but they are a way to sort out candidates and important issues that could help us get things "right side up." Shrill political rhetoric will not provide us with respect for each other or for international and national and local agreements any more than covering over injustices with pithy sayings and slogans will work to provide the sense of security we want.
Our effectiveness in a primary election will be successful if we acquaint ourselves not with a single issue alone but if we increase our willingness to read, listen to opposite points of view and then begin the hard work toward fulfilling our role as citizens of this great country by voting.
Become a part of the process of governing by laws not by edict. VOTE!
