Tomorrow is Election Day.
Tomorrow, Americans will determine the future of the country — and the world.
The questions before us are momentous. They are no less serious than these:
Will we have a future?
Will we arrest global warming, end the war in Iraq, finish the fight in Afghanistan, fix the economy, lower taxes on the middle class, promote Main Street over Wall Street, create energy independence, depoliticize government, restore the Bill of Rights, rescue the Supreme Court, preserve reproductive rights, protect minorities, end torture, fix our schools, repair our infrastructure, save New Orleans, re-separate church and state, restore America's standing in the world, and bring the country together after years of division?
We cats don't know. We're very wise creatures, but we can't predict the future. However, the polls are saying Yes, We Can — and, personally, we are working hard in our community to make sure that it's Yes, We Do.
But — folks — this is it.
Either the earth is off its axis and hurtling toward the sun — or it's going to be okay.
If you love America — if you love your children and grandchildren — if you haven't got any children or grandchildren but just love the idea of America — if you love the idea of preserving the planet — vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Okay, deep breath.
Here are some words of wisdom from another charismatic leader, to carry us through tomorrow. In the meantime, we cats PURR and rub our faces against you.
"Our problems are man-made; therefore, they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."
—John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963
