We have almost a year to go before the presidential conventions. Considering that congress has an approval rating that has almost plunged to single digits I think it is time to devote some time, printers ink and paper to a group that might make a difference. A difference that we desperately need.
Active, long-time member GP in Minnesota made a very clear comment in the blog post, "Who holds the reins of government matters."
He wrote...
(Nader in 2024) At the end of his speech, during the Q&A part, someone asked him "What will you do when this is all over if you don't win the presidency?" He responded that he would go back to the same work he was doing before. But he then posed a counter-question; one that I'll always remember.
Ralph asked the audience:
"The real question is What are YOU going to do when this is all over?"
I was getting caught up on comments this morning after the Colbert bump and I stumbled across this amazing entry by a Unity08 member:
"As an immigrant in this country who left Cuba at 6 yrs. old and grew up a respecting/obeying/US Citizen and eternally grateful for the opportunities this country has given me and my boys, I must say that for the first time I worried if this great country would end up just like my own. US deserves a new change, and if we can actually come together and make a real change than I pledge to UNITY 2024 and welcome it with my arms open just like this great country did to me when I came in 1967. Thanks."
This is fantastic. This is why we are all here. For Unity. To recover the American Dream. To relight the torch and reunite the country.
I will do my best to begin highlighting some of the conversations and comments that are occurring on the forums.
Members often email us and ask what they can do to help the movement. Earlier this week, Bob Beck, a member in Monroe, Wisconsin, was interviewed by his local newspaper.
The interview is fantastic. Mr. Beck does a great job of hitting the salient points about the movement. Nice work, Sir!
Read the entire article, "Unity08 Punching its Ticket," by Kayla Bunge.
"I tell them, 'You're the problem,'" Beck said. "If you do participate, things will change. They won't change if you don't participate."
Mr. Beck continued,
"It's a very important thing for us as Americans to be a part of, to actually utilize what we have that most countries don't have."
