It's in OUR hands!!
Ok, we're getting down to the wire and it's time to get serious and keep our eyes on what's important.

On November 7th, we decide whether unchallenged, one-party abuse of power continues to erode the very foundations of our democracy, or if the checks and balances fundamental to our national identity are restored.

The Declaration of Independence states that "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed". In 6 days, we either continue to acquiesce to tyranical rule or insist on a return to the checks and balances vital to a just government as set forth by our founding fathers.

This election goes beyond mere partisan politics. It goes far beyond disasterous policies, corrupt politicians, and the wholesale moral and financial bankruptcy of our nation. It goes straight to the heart of our national identity.

To proudly proclaim yourself a patriot, you cannot shirk your most vital repsponsibility while insisting on your most fundamental rights. And your most fundamental rights can never be assured while absolute one-pary rule destroys the very documents that ensure them.

Governments derive just powers by concent of the governed, or unjust powers by consent of the governed. On November 7th, you decide what kind of government you insist upon.

Talk about the truth. Talk about what's important to everyone and anyone who will listen. Then vote, if you haven't already, and make sure you remind everyone you know just what's at stake in this election and fire them up to vote too.

Diebold and smear jobs notwithstanding .. this IS in our hands!

In Our Own Hands
