Reply #5: It is obvious that the younger generation

[Harmony Blue]

has to circle the wagons for out country. Thank you to the Baby Boomer generation as you have done your best, but time to pass the torch of perseverance of progressive values to the youth.

We can't approach this from a macro level, but from a micro level. Encourage local activism, and support those union workers who go on strike at the local level. Attend town hall meetings for your rep if possible. Help a neighbor out to plant a garden, or help with yard work. Give someone begging for work 50 cents, and shake their hand. Say excuse me when passing someone by in the grocery store. Voluntarily go out and pick up trash on public sidewalks. Visit your old high school and shake the hands of your old teachers.

We can make a difference, but you have to aim for small steps. Remember the Tortoise won the race not the Hare, so this race for the core of our country is a marathon, not a sprint.
