Voting is a privileged right but only if you defend it by voting
tomorrow. Many of us think midterm elections don't mean much. But I'm here to
tell you they mean a lot and now more than ever. President Obama needs to
finish his term with a successful plate of goals gained. Democrats must hang on
to their seats as well as add more seats to keep GOPs from slowing down or
thwarting progress.
Obama needs a Congress to define, discuss and decide what’s best
for the people and not to lose accomplishments already in place -- health
insurance, women’s rights, and much more. Every vote counts and the president
invites Republicans to join forces and vote for Democrats as switching party
Americans sweeping out the GOP contender.
Democratic leaders and their
campaign workers pulled and tugged from every corner of contenders. They joined
forces with Democratic supporters of Organizing for America and over citizens
who’ll vote today to change the face of Congress and politicians in the nation’s
cities and states. What’s left is to match diligence and to snap diligence crisp
as lettuce with footsteps to ramp up winners.
Every Democratic seated is a one-up for saving presidential
policy and slam dunking goals for Americans of all race, religion, creed,
color, national origin -- rich or poor, liberal, conservative, gay, lesbian or
transgender. Democrats worry that the GOP would overturn hard-fought political
gains during Obama’s six years in office, and that they would strive to block
or to close doors on every new bill and to stymie work for middle class, an
effort that would benefit everyone.
You, dear voter, has the next two years in your sight without
myopia. All you have to do is vote in droves if you haven’t voted early. This
election matters with extraordinarily high earmarks even though no presidential
candidate is on the ballot. (Of course, it’s your right to choose your voting preference
but it’s your responsibility to pick someone who’ll work for everyone, not just
the privileged few)
Protect America’s future for ordinary citizens whose voice
boomerangs from the ballot box. Some might say sleeping political foes lay
schematics for daylight battles with the president and Democrats – all against
ordinary Americans who pay their salary and health insurance.
Here’s a poem crafted from the past two years in extended
gridlock in Washington and spiteful politics without focus on who gets trampled
on during a clear day, too.
Unhidden Agenda
You sit
on your backside hatching
political
plots with sparks of flame
As steam
rises from your sanctuary,
little
devils burst forth to keep
you on
track while verbal paws push Prez’s
train
off track.
Political
vendetta, spite, or hatred?
Against
women?
Holding
binders of women to pick for leadership?
Or to
bury breakout equality health care laws -- mo’ value for women & children?
Antics
rival Cinderella’s wicked stepsisters’ --
Against working
mothers & minimum wage workers:
Women’s
rights packed in a U haul to grave yards
for burial
deeper than the height of roof-top skylights shooting for stratospheric imprint
while politicians
trample women’s rights & bury ordinary citizens in mudslides
Some
elected waffle, twaddle, & filibuster over what matters to Americans’ needs
& values
Not a
scintilla of change in hearts;
Out of Order
to speak for women of color, about contraceptives, about other unsanctified
advice.
No to
refills or to new seats filled for the contentious with air-filled footballs
.
