To believe one vote / Can make a difference / Is an act of faith
To believe one vote
Can make a difference
Is an act of faith
Not a drop in the ocean
But a tsunami of sorts
Multiplying with tour de force
In a country of immigrants
Descendants of slaves
And the Indigenous
Ideally singing a common tune
In harmony with
WE the people
Not simply me, or you
But US, together
Keepers of the flame
Burning in our hearts
To be free and stay free
In the only possible way
By casting that single vote
As the bedrock
Of hope in our democracy
Believing WE the people
Will be the elected majority.
- Harry Seymour

Thank you for this, and for the wonderful portrait of the Obama family in Nov. 2008 from the vantage point of one standing below in the crowd. “Yes, we can.!”
Words so powerful, so true

So well said. Now if we all
Louise Davidson Columbus, OHSo well said. Now if we all acted together as we, the people, to keep our precious democracy safe perhaps we could live free from the violence threatened by the power hungry.
