It has never been about winning.
Democracy can not be won or lost in a single election. It has to be maintained.
There is no new battle here. So many Americans have fought and struggled to
bring us to this point in our history. We have no right to trade our country for a Uhaul and gas money to Canada. We've never succumbed to adversity. Now doesn't seem the time to start.

So take the Canadian Flag sticker off the car, unpack the bags, loosen up and keep swinging.

1. Germany Lost Their Democracy in One Election
Our democracy is on its last legs after the 2000 sElection,
and it's finished if they steal another one.

2. Actually, Germany's democracy was lost long before Hitler's rise to power
The seeds of its destruction were sewn well in advance -- in the aftermath of World War I. Hitler's assuming control was like a flower reaching full bloom. The stem of that flower, however, is what grew in between.

3. Our destruction has been in the works since the 80's.
We need to wake up NOW. In darker moments, I wonder if it's not too late. This election will tell a lot.

5. Your right but, it's never to late.
We're no doubt in for a bumpy ride. Things could get worse. People sooner or later will be forced to wake up and pay attention. Sooner I hope.

6. Never Too Late?
It is either too late already, or this is our last chance.
If we get robbed again, it's all over.
