I wrote the following letter in response to the emails of fear that I got from some in my family. Written a bit in haste, so excuse grammatical errors.

I think its silly to be fearful. There was a lot at stake no matter WHO won. IF one looks at this with the eyes of history, this is what America is about. Almost all of us were immigrants at one time or another. Not less than 40 years ago a black men were beaten and killed and shot for trying to win the right to vote and less than 100 years ago, women did not have the right to vote. We have come far enough in our fight for “Truth, Justice, and Liberty for ALL” that a man of mixed heritage could be elected to office. A man that I feel is a great inspiration to what can be accomplished.

I would also like to remind everyone that its not just the President that makes all your decisions. There is congress, and local governments, and the judiciary system. Your representatives there have a lot more weight. Your voice and the ability to WRITE A LETTER or MAKE A PHONE CALL to your other elected representatives makes a difference.

If you want smaller government, the fight to take back some of the States rights of governance. If the government is too big, it is because we have become too complacent in speaking up and becoming involved. This is not a time to sit back and wring our hands. There are many MANY things that need to be fixed. So pick what you believe in. Be it better education, sustainable agriculture, or taking the control of government OUT of the Corporate Oligarchy. Whatever it may be, ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVE AND DO SOMETHING.

And no matter what, you are still family and welcome to eat at my table.

With Love and Respect,

Ladykatza
