There are still battles to be fought, struggles to offer the people the choice they need to find a candidate to throw off this neocon yoke that is strangling our nation.
It is time to choose the path you will take. Is a personal victory more important than ensuring the good of the people? You would assuredly say 'NO'. Is it 'win at all costs' to achieve the lofty goals to which you both strive?
Take the high road. Show the American people what you are made of, not what you are willing to do to secure a place on the ballot. We are all tired of this...Clinton and Obama supporters alike.
DO NOT QUIT, DO NOT GIVE UP! Return your battle to a battle of dignity, strength, trust and vision. If you do not get all the way 'there' is of no matter. If you SHOULD be the leader of the free world, the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth, the leader of the only nation that has the resources and foundation to be able to promote freedom, equality and 'pursuit of happiness' throughout the world (should we, as a people, aspire to achieve such goals)...if you SHOULD BE THAT LEADER...then spend this last several weeks showing people WHY YOU SHOULD!
It's simple. It's probably naive. But, Hillary, this 'politics of old', this 'politics is dirty, and dirty politics work' is a dis-service to all you can do for this country. The people are showing you that, primary after primary. We want more than change. We want someone to show us the way to returning America to the People.
If that is not your goal. If that is not your opponents true goal...all will be shown in due time. But, do not lose sight of what the People want. We are tired. Tired of Bush, tired of the neocons, tired of wars for money, tired of jobs sent overseas for multi-national corporations' profits, tired of being the richest country on Earth with disgraceful health care, tired of not knowing how we can do ANYTHING to fix this mess our country is in, and tired of people taking our trust and using it to continue dismantling all that is inherently GOOD about America.
You are at a crossroads, Hillary Clinton. What do you really want? What is good for America? What will you leave behind you on the battle field if you should lose this war? Please consider that there is more at stake than just the Democratic nomination. You need to lead, win or lose. You need to show that you know the way. You need to show that you want to be there, nomination or not, to help America find its way out of this morass...and hopefully, into a future with promise and hope.
