As most of you know, Jeff and I began a project titled Discord & Dissension in January of this year. We posted every Friday on a variety of topics concerning the upcoming November election, from the various congressional races, the candidates, climate change and other critical issues, the Courts, voter apathy, and more, until May when we found ourselves exhausted and decided that we needed a break, a hiatus, so that we could come back strong in the weeks leading up to the election. Well, guess what, folks? We are just 11 weeks from election day as of yesterday!
So, Jeff and I have begun collecting our thoughts (some had run away and we had to chase them down!), dusting off the cobwebs, and doing a bit of brainstorming about our direction in those all-important weeks before the election. We plan to resume our posts on the afternoon of Friday, 11 September, barring anything unforeseen at this time. We will have 8 weeks, 8 Friday posts, plus possibly an extra “Special Edition” on November 2nd or 3rd. But we need your help! The title for this second half of our project will be America’s Wakeup Call, for that is truly what we must all do … wake up and help others to do the same … before it is too late.
We have a few ideas, but we would really like to hear from you guys before we formulate a plan. What is most important to you? What would you like to know more about? Issues? If so, do you have specific issues you’d like to know more about? Polls? Polls can be confusing and misleading … is there anything you’ve always wanted to know but were afraid to ask? Do you want to know more about Joe Biden and/or Kamala Harris … the person? Would you like to know more about the best, safest way to vote in your state in this year’s election? What interests you most – environmental issues, law & justice, our relations with other nations, immigration, or something else? Do you understand your constitutional rights, or would you like some additional information?
Our goal with this project is to provide the information you need to make informed choices, to help you to better understand what is at stake, so in order to meet that goal, we really want to hear from you about what matters most, what you’d like us to cover. Feel free to leave a comment here on this post, or if you’d prefer anonymity, email me at dennisonjill@aol.com using “The Project” in the subject line, and either Jeff or I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
Thanks to you all for your input and your support of our project. The stakes are higher this election day than any other has been in our lifetimes, and we need to make sure we help people in whatever way we possibly can!
