Unlock Your Voice Now! A Call to Reclaiming Your Voting Independence.
Fellow Americans and Citizens of Earth,
Thank you for joining me today as we discuss matters of great importance for the future of our democracy and nation’s well-being. I would like to begin by bringing to awareness a unifying process to help us overcome our divisive social habits and self-defeating traditions. I am speaking of the constitutional right to vote independently. As individuals, capable of thinking for ourselves, it seems that our independent voting power has become greatly dependent on what others think of us. Therefore, rather than voting for who we really want, we often act like sheep and follow the crowd, so as to not rock the boat within our families, communities, or political parties. However, many of us do follow our hearts but either lie about who we voted for, or keep it confidential. I am here to say, that is nonsense. You do not have to hide any longer. You do not have to be afraid of voicing your perspectives or feel bad about yourself for whomever you vote for; which means, you no longer have to remain dependent on voting the way your political party demands. You are allowed to be independent with your voting rights. After all, independent freedom is what the United States of America is all about.
When we cast our ballots on election day, let us empower ourselves with humility, understanding, and reverie for our amazing right to vote, while exercising our freedom to choose our leadership. Let us no longer engage in our voting process from the standpoint of blame, apathy, and resentment – Those times are over. It is time to redirect our attention to a solution that may very well be the all-inclusive answer we are seeking. A possibility of realizing and manifesting a truly United States amid a country that often appears as a divided States of America.
We are standing at a crossroads, a pivotal moment where we must address the deep divisions and seemingly corrupt voting traditions that have characterized and sustained our social divides and conflicted political landscape for far too long. The familiar narrative of two political parties constantly at odds with one another has dominated our lives and culture since we were born; and we continue supporting those traditions that tear us apart – as if we don’t know any better – all the while demanding change. If the majority of us are clear that something needs to change, then let’s allow change; which means allowing ourselves to be independent with our vote, not dependent.
In recent years, especially among the younger generations, there is resounding frustration with the “blame game” that has become socially acceptable in politics and governing leadership. All of this blaming, pointing fingers, and putting each other down has to stop. It really is time to grow up; isn’t it? In addition to blindly believing that blame, hatred, and greed can somehow unite us, the idea that you must align with one political party has been ingrained in us as well, leading to ongoing generational cycles of fear, guilt, and unworthiness that feeds those divisive forces. The time is now to acknowledge there is another way; a possibility to begin healing our social divides and dissolving political divisions. Again, I am speaking of reclaiming our personal autonomy, by claiming the right to vote how we see fit, regardless of our political identity, and beyond the fear of what others will think.
Clearly, I am asking us to be radically honest about several of our divisive cultural beliefs and counterproductive habits that aren’t working. And although it is your own permission you are actually seeking, perhaps you need to hear the following approval or validation from someone no longer interested in contributing to divisive political drama. Here it is: I hereby grant you permission to open your heart and mind to possibilities that may have been overlooked. Possibilities you may have been afraid of or ashamed of acknowledging throughout your life for any number of reasons. However, let us acknowledge those conflicted emotions right now, honor them for the roles they have played in our lives, then set them free right now; so we can willingly focus on four foundational concepts that have outlived their usefulness.
Firstly, in the Main Election for the U.S. Presidency, it is NOT TRUE that you must vote along your party lines. You are allowed to vote for whomever you choose on election day, even an Independent Candidate; secondly, it is NOT TRUE that a healthy democracy means “us versus them” as in republicans and democrats always fighting. Why not give yourself permission to be free from those divisive mindsets and cultural patterns? Thirdly, it is NOT TRUE that you must vote against someone rather than for someone. You are allowed to vote your conscience and follow your heart, always; and lastly, it is NOT TRUE that an independent candidate means fearful radical change. That is to say, we are allowed to understand that an Independent Candidate symbolizes what our country was founded upon – independence; and voting Independent is entirely in line with the U.S. Constitution, our founding Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence; which means: You are allowed to exercise those rights; especially on election day!
Remember, the United States of America started as a nation of radical immigrants longing for true freedom and liberty – the right to be independent, while embracing our unifying spirit of inter-dependence. Independence means you were born with inalienable rights; and inter-dependence means: acknowledging and honoring that all of us rely on each other all the time, in many ways; although we often overlook our mutual love for one another, or take it for granted.
To the point: why vote against a candidate when there are other viable options to consider beyond our rigid patterns that keep our minds closed, and locked into divisive habits and conflict? Isn’t it finally time to consider there may be possibilities we have been overlooking – when we get out of our own way? Between the extreme ends of the political spectrum lies a ground of neutrality, a sacred space that many of us yearn for, yet may not be aware, exists. This space I am speaking of is the possibility of living in true independence, free of political identities and social conflict.
Let this also be clear: This speech is not a call for campaign reform, but a plea to transform our deeply ingrained mentalities and belief systems that are holding us in ridgid opposition to one another. It is time to rise above fear of breaking cultural norms, and step outside the bounds of our fragile and unfulfilling political identities. It is time to reclaim our power, the Power of the People. The Power to Choose. The All Inclusive Powers of Human Consciousness. It is time to set the illusion of fear aside once and for all – and think for ourselves – to be ourselves.
Because our nation symbolizes leadership and liberty, and the freedom that peace and understanding provides, let us become the beacon of unity for the world, and make it a living reality! Let us genuinely become the unified example we wish to see reflected in the world, so we are no longer viewed as groups of divisive bullies and immature leaders. In other words, it is time to allow ourselves the courtesy of voting for whom our hearts are truly attuned with – regardless of what anyone else thinks.
The Title of this Speech is “Unlock Your Voice Now. A Call to Reclaiming Your Voting Independence.” That means your vote is always an independent vote and mustn’t be influenced by anyone else. Think for yourself! Once more, you are allowed to vote for whomever you choose; even if you vote for an Independent Candidate. And no matter who you vote for does NOT make you a bad person; even if they are with the other party; even if your spouse, partner, or parents don’t agree with you. And the idea that independent candidates advocate for radical change often stems from the misconception that deviating from the two-party system is a departure from the nation’s founding principles; which couldn’t be further from the truth.
In fact, the essence of independence aligns closely with the fundamental tenets of individual freedoms, self-governance, and the pursuit of happiness outlined in the Declaration of Independence. The Bill of Rights, with its emphasis on protecting individual liberties, reinforces the notion that supporting independent candidates is not a departure from American values, but a commitment to upholding the rights enshrined in these documents. By opening to the possibility of electing independent candidates, voters can affirm and reclaim their commitment to the foundational ideals of the United States, and both our collective and independent rights that we revere.
Let’s ask ourselves this question, which feels more liberating: feeling dependent on a political party or feeling independently free to choose? Now let us honor that understanding when we vote! We must open our minds and hearts and listen beyond anger driven conditioned responses and fear-based reactions to change; especially when the necessity of choosing a new path for ourselves and nation is more obvious than ever.
It is time to embrace the possibility of a new way forward, one that transcends party lines and fosters unity and peace rather than separation and rage. The power to bring about this change lies within each of us, as individuals, as voters, as Human Beings, as truly United Americans. Let us cast aside the worn-out habits of blame and division once and for all, and script a new narrative of unity, understanding, and cooperation – hereby reclaiming our rightful independence. Let us even celebrate it as a type of inter-dependence – as if everyday is the 4th of July – Independence Day; and honor our birthright to freely choose our leadership from the heart, embrace our freedoms of expression we have been neglecting, AND, enact our legal and constitutional right to vote, Independently, if we so choose. The time for change is now; and we know it. Moving forward, may we genuinely embrace and accept the much needed all inclusive and loving change we know in our hearts is possible.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Peace President
“Accepting the end of divisive politics and rise of genuinely Conscious Government and Peaceful Coexistence”
