For the last eighteen months we have watched as the forces of bitterness and division have been inaccurately portrayed as the voices of ordinary Americans against "big Government." First came the "birthers," then the "Tea Party" and the "Party of NO;" seeking revenge over the outcome of the 2008 presidential elections and attempting to drag America into division, bitterness, roadblocks and gridlock. They hope and try to have us turn on each other and work against each other. A dysfunctional society is what they would "take us back to."

But there are other voices out there – our voices. We are the people who believe an even greater America is possible and lies around the corner. We believe in an America that works together, depends on each other, pulls together and lifts up as "One Nation." Now it is our turn to be seen and heard from and to stand up for the change that we voted for. Silence encourages others to pressure the administration to back pedal on its promises and commitments. Let's speak up, mobilize and show what America truly looks like.

Join us on October 2, (10-2-10) in Washington D.C. for a massive mobilization working towards positive change in this country. Put America back to work! Pull America back together!
