I just want people to know that if they want to change the direction of the country, they can do it, but only if they're active, informed, and engaged.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We can change the direction of the country with our vote.
You can't propel a nation to move forward if all you are doing is taking something from them.
The direction of this country is going into the wrong direction.
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.
The good news, though, is that I find in my political travels that people, as regular citizens, are more interested than ever in getting together and having discussions. They want to hear about other viewpoints that differ entirely from what the administration is putting out.
Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.
I'm concerned when certain movements or countries have been isolated from the international dialogue because then you have no way of influencing them.
I do not believe you have to be an elected official to help 'change the world.' In fact, maybe it is easier from the outside.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
History teaches that the overwhelming majority of elected officials follow movement builders outside government when it comes to the new and risky... Once you recognize it, demand it and reward it, it will happen.
