Speaking As Somebody Who Voted Against Tpa

I Want You To Understand That Racial Justice Is Not About Justice For Those Who Are Black Or Brown; Racial Justice Is About American Justice. Justice For Lgbt Americans Is Not About Gay And Lesbian Justice; It's About American Justice. Equality For Women Isn't About Women; It's About United States Equality. You Cannot Enjoy Justice Anywhere In This Country Until We Make Sure There Is Justice Everywhere In This Country.

No Matter What, We Always Have The Power To Choose Hope Over Despair, Engagement Over Apathy, Kindness Over Indifference, Love Over Hate.

Courage Has You Say In A Defiant Spirit You Can Take Everything From Me, You Could Cut Me Deep, You Could Render Me In Shame But You Will Never Ever Stop Me From Loving Those Who Mock Me, From Loving Those That Hate Me, From Loving Those Who Don't Forgive Me, From Loving The Cynics, From Loving The Darkness So Much That I Myself Through My Small Acts Of Consistent Unyielding Love May Bring On The Light.

Here, We Have A Country That Is Making Its Veterans, People Who Are Struggling With Post-traumatic Stress, People Who Are Struggling With Depression, Who Often They're Only Hope Is Their Access To Marijuana To Treat These Illnesses, And Here We Are Criminalizing Them For Doing What's Necessary To Stabilize Their Lives As A Result Of Their Service. This Is Not Who We Are As A Country. We Are Better Than This.

The Right Attitude Can Transform A Barrier Into A Blessing, An Obstacle Into An Opportunity Or A Stumbling Block Into A Stepping Stone.
