An offline conversation with a buddy inspired me to update
my blog today. During the course of the
conversation it was mentioned there is no one in the Democratic Party to fix
all Trump and GOP are doing. I quickly
asked, why are we looking for one person?
The answer is not one person it is all of us. We must all work to correct the governing of
the GOP and Trump administration.
We must not look for a messiah but look within for the
leader. We must cultivate and elect to
local/state offices those who will govern with the public good in mind. Leaders who will listen to the people whom
they have been elected to serve. We must
create plans of governing (see ALEC) as do corporations. We must also cultivate and elect to Congress
those who understand public service. My
members of Congress have forgotten they represent Mississippi. They think they serve Trump and the GOP.
The GOP has made no secret of the plans to enrich
corporations at the expense of the poor and the working poor. We don’t have time to search for a messiah. When I attend marches and rallies I see many
who would do well in public office. They
have an understanding of government not just being an activist.
Stop searching for a messiah to run for office, you run for
office.
