ran 2.4 miles
Eleven weeks in and I have run over 200 miles strictly motivated by a sense of urgency to contribute whatever little I can to make Barack Obama a one-term president. However small my presence or influence has been in the much larger arena of politics, it is enough for me at the end of each day just to know I can sleep easier and live stronger knowing I am involved and doing something more than remaining silent or speaking only behind closed doors.
As of today I have run 205.7 miles, averaging 2.67 miles per day. Running day after day has become easier and easier, but it still remains to be daunting at times. I am convinced, though, that nothing else in my thirty-two years has inspired and motivated me more to make a stand than the positions our current president has taken regarding our country.
In closing, I’d like to make an interesting point regarding the 2012 presidential election, which is still too far away to touch, yet is worth thinking about, as far as what candidates we are going to have to vote for, or against Obama with. If you know anything about Ronald Reagan it’s that he was a brilliant, effective president who communicated with and worked for the voters of America. He did not propagandize or pander to the desires of special interest groups or big government. He simply did what needed to be done with no wiggle room for excuses. If you don’t know anything about Ronald Reagan, look up his timeline and accomplishments as President of the Unites States of America, and you will see what progress a leader of this country is capable of.
The fact I would like to point out is that Ronald Reagan was a movie star, then a governor, and then President of this country. We certainly can’t all be movie stars, but Reagan showed that anybody worthy of moving this country forward could be president. I see a kindred spirit between Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin. It is uncertain whether she will run for president in 2012, but if she does it will be important to consider that sometimes the candidate who lacks experience and has not rotted in a career of politics could be just the agent needed to break America’s stagnant film on opportunity and strength. Many think Palin lacks experience in politics, especially being so distant from the lower forty-eight states, but I welcome her successes in Alaska and her distance from the disappointing reality of what the lower forty-eight states’ politics have been for so long.
We need something that works and Barack Obama is not it. I’m not necessarily advocating that Sarah Palin is the answer either, but she would be an exciting option, much like Ronald Reagan was. If she does run, she should not be overlooked for presumable inexperience because Reagan was inexperienced, politically, and he proved to be an absolutely fascinating, brave and successful president, at a very challenging time.
1,874.3 miles to go.
