Action 26: A Step

So Glad You Are Here!

In less than 10 days I will either be dancing along with half of the American population,

(and the HUGE majority of nations throughout the world)

OR

I will crawl under my covers to build my strength to face the next four years.

This election is so very important.

This election is so very important, because it is a STEP in one particular direction, 

rather than another.

A step towards supporting the middle class or not …

A step towards protecting women’s rights or not …

A step towards choosing who we love and marry or not …

A step towards working against pollution or not …

A step towards immigration laws that give a fair chance or not …

A step towards American jobs on American soil or not ….

A step towards world politics based on respect and cooperation or not …

And most certainly a step that believes ‘loving our neighbors’ includes guaranteed health care for that single mother diagnosed with breast cancer five states away, rather than simply a prayer and 

a casserole delivered with a hug.

This election means:

A Step … in one particular direction, rather than another.

A Step … right along Obama and Biden and Michelle and millions upon millions of other Americans.

I am so very grateful to take this step right along with you! 

Your truly,  Bena

A STEP is a mighty thing …

Oh, one more thing.

I have decided to write one more blog after the election, and then give Peep a rest.

It has been an amazing six months of thinking and writing and sketching.  I thank all of you who have hung in there with me.

See you after the election.

In the meantime, don't be surprised, if you happen to see me practicing a few new dance moves.

Yours, Bena
