From Danielle, to you -- the listeners:

Hey you guys -- thanks so much for listening, and for taking a second to read this. I designed the format for The High Road to make you think, and then act on what you know is the right thing to do. I know that all across America, and across the world, there are those of us who sit in our own corner of the universe, and wonder exactly how things 'Got So Bad'.

It's not a mystery, though -- historically, things get bad when fearful, passionately zealous people push their way to the top. Let's not repeat history -- it's time that Integrity, Education, and Honesty push back with Dignity.

YOU ARE THE SOLUTION - YOU ARE THE MIRACLE

I'm doing my part to push back with Dignity, to bring my little flickering birthday candle into the football field, and ignite the 100 yards of other tiny candles until stadium is filled with blinding light.

Each one of your holds a candle. I'm only one little cog in the wheel, here, people. EACH ONE OF US, whether you teach school in Billings, Montana, or own a golf course in Port Orchard, Washington, have a responsibility to use your mind for your highest good, and for the good of your nation, your families, and your dreams.

I'm not trying to make a political statement. Heck, I'm not making a statement at all. I'm blowing a trumpet in a wake-up call. This isn't the time to be sleeping on the watch; It's the time to sharpen your sensibilities, wake up out of that victim consciousness that's been passed down from the days of the kings and serfs that claims "you can do nothing", and bust out of this matrix. So look yourself in the mirror today, and:

BE BRAVE
SPEAK OUT YOUR TRUTHS
DON'T LIVE IN FEAR
YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU

And by all means,
e-mail me your comments!

I look forward to hearing from all of you!
Your Pal,
--Danielle
