all of the selves we Have ever been

A nation that grew to greatness from the efforts of the tempest-tossed and wretched refuse of teeming shores, that saved the world from fascism, and sent men to the moon by employing vision and powers of the mind is seeking a statesperson. This nation is seeking honorable men and women for leadership positions to restore a great country to decency. The nation is seeking an intelligent, insightful individual with no conflicts of interest who desires to do what is right even in the face of opposition or party loyalties, a person who can lead a revolution of thought and behavior. This person should be able to speak the truth with respect. No prisoners of political correctness or impulsivity should apply. Good candidates will allow their own ideas to be informed by other points of view. We are looking for someone who can acknowledge the truth about the past while leading us into the future. The ideal candidate will be of sound mind. Other important qualities include grace, dignity, restraint, compassion, and empathy. He or she will provide a conscience for capitalism--understanding that economic growth and prosperity do not have to come at the price of greed, deceit, corruption, or poor quality goods and services. We are looking for people with educated minds capable of seeing the big picture and the long term consequences of action. The statesperson should be able to speak in an articulate fashion providing clarity about views and positions without insulting others. Preferred applicants will be those who can get responsible gun owners to the table to discuss how to protect second amendment rights as well as the lives of school children, concert-goers, and church members. A worthy candidate is someone who can acknowledge the seismic changes in the culture that have left too many people feeling confused and angry without any idea about how the world works, how to find a job or get ahead--someone who understands that all the rules about living have been upended and can fill us with hope in this time of uncertainty, someone who can give people a future and a will to live. The right individual will be able to elevate good, working, productive people above celebrity. Applicants should have the strength to call out companies that collude to create epidemics and economic crashes and then benefit again by charging the public for the antidotes. The best candidates are those who live by example, obeying the laws of the land and rules of civility. We are not looking for great men and women. We are looking for good ones. We are seeking someone who can transform public opinion about government service and make it an honorable aspiration once again. Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country. Apply in person.
