There are no crowds anymore. The stadiums are empty and full of cardboard people. The music has died down. There are just wandering minds listening, watching, waiting, and wanting more. There are endless amounts of people lost and alone out there that will do anything they are told to if the TV, newspaper, and the internet tell them to. Unfortunately for all of us this includes peers and relatives and maybe even you.
I want more for and from my brothers and sisters and know that if we are ever going to come together like John Lennon described as one people that time would be right now. A great awakening is some where on the horizon and I am eagerly watching every sunrise and sunset for it. This would be that feeling in the air many have tried to define before with buzz words like hope, change, and progress. Did these people deliver on their promises or present a simple action plan we can all try together? Fuck no! That's why I have.
Where has our patriotism and team spirit gone? I believe it is still alive and well but currently only exists at home, in our schools, online, and in front of the boob tube. If I can't get you engaged enough to get off the couch then we need to occupy the internet. It is time for each thoughtful and concerned citizen to apply his or her own talents to solving problems in America together. We can't and shouldn't expect the government to.
They have said true freedom and liberty begin with individuals on a local level. So lets take responsibility right now for ourselves, family, and humanity as a whole. Find or create one piece of content on or offline to share with your family, friends, and/or followers that will express your desires for our country and inspire immediate action on their parts. You must also tag at least one news paper, one news station, one state congressman, and one state senator as well as one associate or colleague. Then invite them to do the same. Any meaningful and lasting real change must first take place on a personal level and work it's way upward through local governments with help from neighbors and like minded citizens. Now it's your turn.
I nominate____________________ to take the content challenge.
