We All Must Join Obama in Saying to the Republicans: ENOUGH!

Finally, Barack Obama has issued the call to action that this country has long needed to hear from the Democratic Party. His nomination acceptance speech has made the choice for the citizens of this country clear: Either the citizens of this country choose to continue more of the same by voting for McCain, or choose Obama so that we will all have the opportunity to bring about the kinds of change Obama clearly outlined in his speech last night.

While the corporate media, which works for the corporations that hope to continue to control the levers of political power in Washington, will continue to try to cloud the issues, and is already at work dismissing the pivotal significance of Obama's speech last night, all patriotic citizens of this country must recognize the task at hand, and act.

Anything less than this is a betrayal of both the promise and the future of America.

So now the REAL QUESTION is whether the American people will rise up to the challenge and the call that Barack Obama has so clearly placed before them:

As he emphasized, this election is not about him, which is what the Republicans and the corporate media would like us to think. This election is about us, and what we want from our country, what we want our future to be like.

If we want a continuing decline into poverty, frustration, and despair for the majority of our fellow citizens, then we may choose McCain. But if we want the opportunity to work with Obama as President to renew the Promise of America for ourselves and all our fellow citizens, then our choice is clear.

The only question now is whether we, as citizens, will take responsibility for our own government, and rise up through this election to take our government back from the corporate media and lobbyists that now control it.
