Si, se puede!

I’ve been shy about picking a candidate to support for President. Until Edwards dropped out I had hoped for a brokered convention that could bring serious change, an opportunity for the people to have input to the Democratic party’s platform, a chance that we could break through the walls of deceit and propaganda to some clarity regarding holding corporations accountable, an opportunity to tax corporations to begin the reparation of the damage they’ve done to our environment, to our institutions, to the world. I had hoped for an opportunity to have voice in the decision to end war and reassert the value of diplomacy in our international relations. I had hoped for a reasonable approach to the provision of human services, an approach that drove the engine of private enterprise fueled by profit and greed away from this most public sector of our culture and economy. I still think we can force a change. And I’ll still be happy to vote for either Clinton or Obama in the fall. And I think we can make a difference by letting our voices be heard. Yes we can.
