Restore the dream on Election Day
This unique nation teeters on the brink, beyond which rededication or catastrophe occurs. And after 20 grueling months of political tug of war, both parties' ideological cards are face up on the table and the philosophical lines in the sand are contrastingly drawn so far apart that anyone can clearly understand and interpret the wide divide.
In just about a week, we have a chance to honor, with our vote, all those who had a positive hand in creating the purposeful life that now is being systematically stripped away, while pledging to future generations that we will restore the American dream in its entirety. Thus, we have the awesome responsibility to vote our conscience and then rest assured, knowing we were a part of a historic election that determined the fate of this exceptional nation by steering the cards to fall where we choose.
But the significance of this day and the predicted results must not be taken for granted. It is a life-changing moment in time; our action will determine America's future cultural morality. This is a multigenerational obligation that must not be taken lightly, for it is our enduring legacy and everlasting contribution to posterity.
