7 Days To Go.....
"The essential principles of our Government... form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety."
--Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural Address, 1801.
The bright constellation is Democracy. TJ certainly knew something about it and it's principles. The past four years have certainly given us "moments of error...of alarm". Terrorists, attacks, war, poverty. All of these have effected the American people. It has not been easy, but we all gave the administration the benefit of the doubt, we all united to fight the common threat. In return, we were led off the road of Democracy. As TJ says, "...let us haten to retrace our steps...to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." John Kerry is ready to lead us back onto the road. He will not sacrifice our safety, but he will do more to bring allies and diplomacy into the road to peace. He will not leave us vulnerable, but he will work with the Patriot Act to make sure that does not infringe on the liberties that we love in America. He will not act unilaterally, making sure that all of our troops are as safe as possible.
We have been led off of the road, and it is due time that we take the steps to correct our akward course and return to the path of the future.
