Inspiration

Regardless of your political foundation and regardless of where your vote will fall, I encourage you to watch this video.

We are in the midst of an election cycle unlike any we’ve ever seen. We have diverse candidates, and are down to clear two-person races in each party. What I find most interesting is that the candidates really are different from each other.

We have technology we’ve never had before. Candidates have myspace pages. They use youtube. Information is now.

I found this video compelling for a number of reasons. Above all, it’s just different. This is a new political expression. This wasn’t funded by a campaign. These are talented and committed people getting together for a compelling reason: they are positively INSPIRED.

For the last several election cycles, I’ve found myself negatively inspired. That is to say, I voted against someone. Politics are tainted for me. No candidate inspired me. No candidate was my leader. No candidate excited my sensibilities and my passion.

Obama may not be your guy. But that’s not why I’m posting this. Regardless of your vote, I hope you can feel inspired by the process and by your candidate. As a community, Americans should take back politics. We should demand that our candidates inspire us. At the very least, we must demand that they be inspired.
