President-elect Obama keeps saying that there’s a seat at the table for everyone.
I am requesting a seat at the table for the nonsecular, please. And I believe I am not alone.
I am requesting a seat at the table for those who do not hate gays. And I believe I am not alone.
I am requesting a seat at the table for those who do not wish to “drown government in a bathtub”. And I believe I am far from alone.
I am requesting a seat at the table for those who believe that failure to manage a company should be rewarded at the expense of the middle class. And I am far from alone – we number in the millions.
In fact, I believe that giving seats at the government table to those who do not believe government can work, those who speak out against good governance and helping everyone do better, and those who preach hatred to any part of humanity is, in fact, failure of governance.
And I am not alone.
