"You are an American...Don't vote your fears.....Vote your hopes..."
I think this would be an effective message for Kerry tomorrow and Tuesday.

"I am calling on all Americans to look within their hearts and souls. What kind of country do we want? The decision we make will determine the kind of country we have. I call on all Americans to be brave and not follow those that would preach fear. America deserves more. "

1. It's certainly Big Dawg's message in NM today.

3. I did that meditation thing the other night.
I suck at meditation, but decided I'd do it for the election. I don't have any idea if such things work, but if anything, I just wanted to do something I knew others were doing at the same time for the same reason. The thing that kept coming to me is the very theme of this thread--vote with hope, not out of fear. So I pictured people going into the voting booths and voting with hope. Fear is Bush's weapon--it is all he has. Hope is America's greatest virtue, and this is what Kerry represents to so many of us. So basically, I was trying to picture November 2nd as a day full of hope. Then I walk my dog and see my neighbor up the street had put up a handwritten sign, 'Bush Sells Fear and we're not buying it! Courageous Utahns Will Vote for Kerry!' It was great!

5. I cannot force myself to believe that our country has gone so wimpy...
that they would vote for fear over hope. I cannot believe it.
