An open letter to President elect Barack Obama:

Sir,

I call on you to call on us – as soon as possible and often. We are here. We are eager. One of the reasons, maybe the prime reason, we elected you is because we want to be called on. We want to be better. We know that you can’t do it alone. We have united behind you because we believe that you can unite us. That you will call on us.

After 9/11 all we were called upon to do was shop. And look where that got us.

We don’t need specifics – but we need to hear that you will fulfill this part of the promise, that we can begin to get ready for another magnificent American effort. The kind not accomplished by politicians working in Washington, but our leaders and the people working together.

Otherwise the moment will be lost. Again.

WHITElightnin

This round of letters won’t change until the right wing whiners & complainers like you see the light, and move into the future.

PLEASE stop living in the past
