Is this what our democratic Republic has become? Why
are we Americans so willing to give our rights away by not protesting against
things like the Patriot Act or torture of every one declared an "enemy
combatant?" Our surveillance systems have now proliferated faster than
bunny rabbits before Easter. Our corporate state can now spy on
us anytime/ anywhere. They can search your bags, pat you down,
arrest you, and detain you without legal recourse. They can tap your phones and
inspect your Internet email. Are you kidding me? My father who
fought in three wars must be turning over in his grave.
And here's the worst part. It's our
fault. We the people have allowed this to happen. We've
been living in a fools' paradise, in denial, keeping our noses stuck in our
iPhones, iPads, iPods or whatever the latest electronic gadget is. We're
pretending nothing is going on, secretly hoping someone will save us.
Well, guess what? That ain't happening. No one's going to save us. We must save ourselves. Jefferson said, "If you do not fight for your freedoms they will be taken from you." And guess what? They have and are. Our constitution is being systematically dismantled, our money squandered on endless wars, Wall Street thieves and tax breaks for millionaires. Call me crazy. Call me Cassandra but it is up to us. It is our choice. Will we continue to collude with the dark forces of the elites and corporate power for our demise or will we realign with our higher selves and remember who we are?
We must choose love over fear and we must awaken and rise up
against the forces of darkness. We must stand for the good of
humankind and with mother earth. We must stand in our truth and we
must act. Denial and dysfunction do not work. We have
given our power away and it's time to take it back. We are here to
make the world a better place for others. This is our mission should
we decide to accept it."- Ignore it at your own peril.
End of sample.
I hope you'll purchase the book and share widely.
Thanks so much. Oh, the SOLD OUT sign on the cover refers to the U.S. not the book and it's listed under Jill Dalton not Julia.
Another world is possible.
