Resistance Is Necessary

• Wise Supreme Court Justices
• Logical Supreme Court Justices
• Justices who like the country and all of its people.
• Justices who believe in justice
• Presidents who have integrity
• Presidents who don’t like to use violence.
• Presidents who tell the truth
• Presidents who don’t go to war for lies or to make money.
• Presidents who admit their mistakes, give reasons for them, and learn from them.
• Presidents who believe in America and believe in government
• Presidents who work for the people of America, not against them.
• Presidents who don’t have policies designed to hurt people either in America or around the world.
• Congresspeople who care about people outside of the beltway and listen to them more often than not.
• Congresspeople who lead morally, when the crowd is wrong
• Congresspeople who can — and do — explain why they voted in some way or another.
• Congresspeople who represent the people they are supposed to represent
• Congresspeople who aren’t in for the fame or noteriety.
• Congresspeople who don’t lie.
• Congresspeople who don’t steal.
• Congresspeople who don’t make more money than their salary for the work they do.

I remember a time when I believed this was true of all the people in government. I expect it now. I think this is what most of us expect from government.. If you don’t live up to these reasonable expectations, I won’t vote for you. I don’t believe you should be in government, and I don’t know anyone who does.

As voting time gets nearer, remember these goals, not the ones politicians seem to have now.

Resisting With Peace,

John
