My fellow Americans, please watch this recent 60 Minutes video. My reaction is this: if we want to save our beloved country after this election, it’s up to us. The politicians, “authorities,” movie stars, celebrities, “leaders” cannot. BUT WE CAN, IF WE LOVE AMERICA ENOUGH.
It has to start with us. We can link arms and agree not to shout at each other, agree to listen, to accept that we’re all after the same thing: preservation of our beloved country. Please join me in vowing, on Election Tuesday and every day following, to be civil, to teach by example, to turn the other cheek, to teach patience and respect. Somebody has to save this country. It has to be us, regardless of party or belief or skin color or gender. This video will convince you. We The People are all that can pull this out of the ditch. Please help. Please share. We’re all we have left.

Thanks for sharing this, Lynne. If we each do our part, I hope we can turn the tide. It’s been a dark few months…
I know we can. After seeing this video, and even veteran pollster Frank Luntz revealing despair, somebody has to step up. We can do it.
Dear Lynn
Thank you so much for sharing this video which I had not seen.
As a foreigner married to an American, the awful show that I have seen these last months has horrified me.
There is many things that I like in the US as well as many things that I don’t like and disagree with, but what always struck me was the way the American PEOPLE were able to stick together, rebound and move forward whatever happened.
Those two candidates have divided the country as never before and right now hatred is just flowing. Let’s remember only the last words of this panel and hope that the American people as a whole will be wise enough to regain consciousness and realize that all of you have to live together and must do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
The American people have always risen to any challenge. To quote one beloved movie from years and years ago, we are at our best when things are at their worst. And now it’s up to us to dig deep, and show the best within ourselves. Thank you for commenting, Gerald.
Thank you for sharing this.
