In this dark time of our nation's history, when confronted with the political reality that our own citizens are divided between profound issues and faced with Presidential candidates who will never represent them, I refer to our founding document: "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." Although no reconciliation between our divided electorate can or will occur, we can proactively provide for our shared right to democracy.
