As I have travelled the state in these past few months, I have been shocked by the level of anger I am finding. Anger at politicians who promise everything and deliver nothing. Anger at Washington for spending away the future of our children. Anger at fellow citizens over the apathy that got us here. And anger at ourselves for believing that everything was okay when we should have realized that it wasn’t.
As people continue to lose jobs, and the economy continues to crumble, it’s easy to get caught up in assigning blame – and then trying to get back at the person who gets the assignment. Understandable, but counter-productive. No amount of blame will change a single thing that got us to this position. But action can.
So, let’s resolve to change the old saying. Let’s not get mad, let’s get active. America is counting on us.
Take care,
Peg
