A Word About Complacency

After months of speculation, we now know that Joe Biden's running mate in the November presidential election will be Kamala Harris, a US Senator from California.  So far, Republicans don't seem to be impressed by this choice; it is being widely panned.  It seems that many of my fellow "Grand Old Party" members believe that the race is "in the bag", so to speak.  To this, I caution my colleagues not to get complacent. 

If I might, I'd like to go on a tangent for a moment.  Those who know me well are aware that I have been an enthusiastic volunteer for Fairfield Warde High School girls' basketball (Mustangs represent!)

Traditionally, our program has been very successful.  I attribute this to not only great talent and coaching, but a dedicated work ethic as well.  One of the things I remember from a past season is a certain motivational line from the Warde head coach.  He said, "talk is cheap.  Get it done".  This must be the Republican mantra for this election. 

The Democratic Party will be out in force this time around; perhaps more so than in any other presidential race.  For lack of a better term (and figuratively speaking), their media talking heads and party spinsters will be "out for blood"

The Democrats' goal is obvious; it is to (again, figuratively speaking) kick President Trump's butt, and finish off the "American Dream".  As Republicans and patriotic Americans, we CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN.  If we want to win, we must get out and do the work that is necessary.  That means knocking on more doors, talking to more people, and "pounding the pavement" harder than ever before

There is still quite a long way to go until Election Day.  Don't make the mistake of thinking that this race is over; indeed, that's just what the Democrats want you to do.  Instead, commit yourself to doing more for the GOP, and America, than you have ever done.  Complacency is, perhaps more than anything else, something that could very well be the death of us.  DON'T LET IT HAPPEN. 

"Talk is cheap.  GET IT DONE"
