Don't threaten to move, just do it!

Republicans and Christianists who do not think they can help unite our nation under our new President, should stop threatening to move, and just do it!

At this moment, we have a choice. We can admit that the direction of the country has not been consistent with the needs of the majority of the county. We can admit that our economy, education, housing market, job security, and positive worldwide political influence have all suffered under the Bush administration.

We can decide to be angry, scared, bitter, crass, immature, or unhelpful.

OR

We can choose to get behind our new leader. We can choose to unite and heal, to do what is good and right for our nation and for the world. We can drop arrogance and ignorance. We can choose to give each other the chance for a better future. We can choose to give our children and their children the opportunity to grow up in a nation that says, "We can achieve great things."

So, if you honestly believe that you cannot help unite our nation under President Obama, please, do the rest of us a favor. Stop making idle threats of moving to Mexico, Canada, or Australia, and just move. We want your help, but if you won't give it, then please don't be an obstacle.
