Today is Pearl Harbor day.
In 1941, The Japanese navy bombed Pearl Harbor.
That's 82 years ago.
We will vote next year
for the next President of the United States.
83 years from Pearl Harbor,
we could vote to end democracy.

I cannot imagine it,
but it is real.

Donald Trump has boasted
that he will institute a dictatorship
the day he takes office.

Why would he lie?

83 years ago, we were fighting for democracy,
at home and around the world.
Next year, we will vote to save democracy,
at home and around the world.

This is no joke.

Democracy is at stake.

"Oh, Joe Biden is too old!"

DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!

Do not be flip about this!
Do not dismiss this!
Do not toss this aside
as though it is nothing!

Democracy has not been this close
to extinction
in 246 years!

DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN!

Vote as though you were enlisting
to fight in World War II!
It is as though you are enlisting
to fight in the service of democracy in 2024!
Democracy needs every one of us
at the polls,
voting our hearts out
for democracy!
For the Democrat!
Against the Republican!

Do not think otherwise!
Vote like you mean it!
FOR Democracy!
FOR Liberty and Justice for All!

Vote like Democracy means everything to you!

Our fathers and mothers,
grandfathers and grandmothers,
fought for Democracy 82 years ago,
and many of them died.

Vote for Democracy 83 years later
as a way of declaring that they did not die in vain!
That we will keep their hope for Democracy alive and well
throughout our time upon the earth,
and keep the United States of America
the Home of the Free and the Brave!

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
