Day after Election Day

Find the common ground.

Yes, I believe the United States as envisioned by the foundling founding fathers as a nation where people are free (and they did not include corporations in that, since they didn't really know that much about them) is in serious trouble.

Abraham Lincoln, slightly edited for today:

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal

Now we are engaged in a great civil war uncivil and polarized debate, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."

 So. My thoughts are turning to how to stay involved in the political process now that the election is over and how to find the common ground. Lincoln said that "...It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us...".

I hope that now, as then,

"...this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
