On Change.gov, the transition administration is inviting people to propose recommendations for the transition period and at the above link is a fantastic (& long) series of things that need to happen. I’m not going to start being proud of our nation until most of these get underway. Things like ceasing torture, restoring privacy, protester protections, etc… We could look at our Constitution and our current government and marvel at the effective implementation of the Constitution. Our current government and movement away from some of our core principles as a nation are travesty. If you think you are truly free right now. You are not. You are only comfortable. Please read the above and forward it along. Being an American is a state of mind. It is not a birth right.
