We all have fantasies. Those moments when we imagine ourselves being someone or doing something that would be a total outer body experience. Well, while watching the DNC last night, I had a fantasy that I was a politician giving a rousing and enthusiastic speech. Especially after the CNN commentators gave their opinion of the line up of speakers being boring and lack luster in their presentation of the focus of the Democratic party.
If I were there here is what I would say....
We are here on the edge of democracy working at the height of its definition. Democracy means a free and equal representation of people. Here is the time to make the "equal" a reality. This is the time to show how far we have come as Americans and to show the world that we are returning to the basic foundation which this land was supposed to be built upon. That foundation is filled with opportunity; opportunity for each American to be given the chance of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
But this foundational right can not be given to any American if it is not made available by the hands that are put in charge to mold this land into greatness.
There are new hands that are ready to make that foundational right available to all Americans. Those hands come from the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Barack Obama has made plans to rebuild our economy so that we are able to rebuild our lives, Barack Obama has made plans to renew our health care system so that it is made available to all Americans not just the wealthy and middle working class, and also Barack Obama has made plans to finally fill the gaps of education that separates our communities.
The time is now for opportunity to begin in this country and for all people to have the rights to an equal pursuit of happiness.
