 Barack Obama
Yet, in the past weeks, many of us have heard friends in the spiritual community expressing ambivalence about voting. When asked why they wouldn't vote we heard things like: 'It doesn’t make any difference.'I'm more interested in spiritual practice than politics'. Humanity is at a crossroads. We can no-longer afford to sit on the sidelines. We are asking you to get engaged.

The 2000 presidential election was decided by just 500 votes and this November appears to be just as close. Every vote matters. Your vote and the votes in your community could make the difference. Please make a heart-felt inquiry and look at the candidates. Ask yourself who best reflects the values you want to live by – those of spirituality in action.
* Who do you believe will lead this country and the world in the
direction you would like to see it move?
* Which candidate will foster security through international
cooperation rather than wars of aggression?
* Which candidate will move policy most quickly toward a sustainable
habitable planet for future generations?
* Which candidate will most support our commitment to human rights and
equal opportunity for all people?
...and then
Vote. Let your voice be heard.
Together there is
nothing we cannot do.
