US politics vs. love of country

Have to weigh in this year.  Every day that goes by that the People stay silent is another tragic "24".  No more drama, just writing it down and not making sense.

Going to a calling event for Obama later tonight.  Will also do an event for Darcy Burner is I can do it before I head south.  No way I can stand by and let conservatives take over our country.  I wander around the net and comment about this all the time, in fact, I've become sort of obsessive about it and I have to stop.  It's time to pound the sidewalk, burn the wires, talk to real people on the street about what is happening to our constitution.  We have come to the point of having to talk back and put action into our rage.  

Since Nicheren Shoshu and conventions that I participated in with them, I love our country because I was able to see it through the eyes of Nisei and Issei, Nihon that migrated here and see this country for what it was dreamt to be and I learned that dream from them.  Yes, I cried when those Olympian medel winners got to hear the anthem being played and they were winners but to hear the anthem, to know it was from your country, that makes you cry tears of joy for them and for us.

When you know what freedom was supposed to be, the mundane becomes the irreplaceable.  My thing is to work on the streets and now, to record that for my future generations here.

This is the most important election EVER, there is no excuse for hanging back, we can not afford any other action.  This is for you, kids.
