I am Afraid.

[Willo]

I am not afraid of change. I am not afraid of hope.
I am afraid because it is so close to starting,
I feel the loss of it stopped before it begins.

I am afraid to have to say in November, "We didn't give it a chance".

I am afraid because decent people have to fight to remain decent.
It's a 24-hour job with no breaks and no time off.
Troublemakers find so much time and energy.
I am afraid because excuses are easier than answers.

I'm afraid that she may win without deserving to.
Yes, I am afraid of her.

His supporters abandoned him when NAFTA came out. But, they came back stronger when the lie was exposed.
Wright touchs the nerves of a few. But, once those particular nerves are identified, only a select few will refuse treatment.
The polls confirm it. The people confirm it. And, I know it.
But, I refuse to forget how dangerous and devastating that time was.
I refuse to remember he beat it brilliantly and stands even taller.
I take no comfort in these things, because, I am afraid of her.

He does not respond in kind to such things.
He wants better FOR us. He represents the better IN us.
That is why I...VOTE...FOR...HIM!

Tough, Tenacious and Never Gives Up vs. Change, Hope and Together We.

I slept with one eye open. I expect the next attack.
I am so afraid of her, that in relief, I point and cackle with glee when she trips over her own self.
I rub it in their faces for following such poor leadership.
If you don't want to come up with us, then go down with her. Take that, for all she's put me through. Take that I say!

I am afraid that I am changing.
But not as I had hoped.
I am afraid that I am not quite representing who I'd follow.
But how would you know that?

Seems I forgot that he lives by, "How would that make you feel?"
Seems I forgot he believes, "No one is exempt from the call to find common ground"
And I forgot he said "We will go up together or we will go down together"'

Seems its hard to play in the mud and not get dirty.
Hmmm, water and earth have been around me for,
well...for forever.

I am not afraid of change.
I will start with me, right here, right now.
She is a strong woman. Tough and smart. Not my first choice,
But we will have a democrat in the Whitehouse. Yes we will.

I am not afraid of hope.
I will start working for it, right here, right now.
No excuses. I don't need time off. I'm fired up and ready to go.
He is a rare kind of person. You don't see them all the time. (You'll be seeing a little more of that in me)
He's running to be President, today. I'm feeling the fierce urgency of now.
We can have him in the White House. Yes we can. Yes we can.

[Voice for Peace]

4. Say no to fear, in all its forms. It isn't good for you, it doesn't help the cause.

Yes you can!
Fear & Hope can not occupy the same space.
You can't give them both attention at the same time.
Don't sit on that fence.

Fear is for the other guys.
