YOUR

For those of you who have supported 44, I don’t know why you can’t support his choice for Secretary of State and keep on making history like we have for the last 8 years.

I understand that the election of a Black president and his remarkable success as the leader of a country that denies the plight and contributions of his ancestors and fellow Americans, has the status quo shook and that has reverberated into what can only be described as The Nightly Show, has so eloquently put it – Blacklash. But we shall not be moved.

Have you seen the Wiz? The movie, not the play. As the Wiz dictates which colors are in and out, the lyric goes: “I wouldn’t be caught dead in red.” Don’t get caught out there people. This is not a multiple choice test. There is only one answer.

I will have to pray because I know that there are those on the other side who feel just as strongly as I do. But I’m afraid. I’ve done everything to be successful and safe and I don’t feel like either. One of my biggest fears is that George Carlin, Marc Maron, Seth Macfarlane, Anthony Jeselnik and a bunch of other comedians I admire are right and that I’m deluding myself with this God thing. But at a time like this, all I can think of to not go mad is God help us!

FOUR

Three Dog Night might be mistaken. The loneliest number may not be one, it might be four. With no disrespect to the Green or Libertarian parties this is not a 4 candidate race. I don’t care what you see, what you hear, or who’s on your ballot.

Hillary, a woman with decades of experience as First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State who went to Wellesley and Yale is running against a reality TV star with a staccato 5th grade vocabulary who mocks the disabled and can’t stay away from a period joke when he’s mic’ed up. He also makes up nicknames to belittle those who oppose him the way a schoolyard bully does.

And it’s just the two of them. Don’t split the vote. We already know the end of that story.

She’s an insider. Insider only becomes an issue as more of us (anybody not a rich, white, male land-owner) get “in.”

She’s experienced and he is not even a novice, not even an amateur.

He’s an experiment.

One that will blow up in all of our faces.

I implore you to vote for Hillary Clinton.

You have one choice.

We have one choice.

Some of us will go back to being 3/5 of a person, being greeted by barking dogs and showered by fire hoses.

Some of us will be beaten back into closets.

New families will be broken.

For all of us still seeking a more perfect freedom, “fight like Hill” for someone who actually knows something about working toward a more perfect union.
