Crisis Remedy

My Dear Friends and Fellow Americans,

I had not been in touch with all of you as much as I would have like to recently.

The reason being my commitment towards my forthcoming and first publication titled “Words Matter”, “The Mind of a Blogger” that is not only important in terms of this “Presidential race” but also reveals the characteristics of the contenders competing for the highest office on land and planet earth.

The book will feature my direct communication with the “Presidential Candidate” Senator Barack Obama, his spouse Michelle Obama and other high profile Senators who had just then endorsed the democratic candidate for “Presidency”.

As mentioned in my earlier blogs on www.my.barackobama.com which will be presented in www.padminiarhant.com/blog. www.padminiarhant.blogspot.com shortly, I believe in candor and transparency. Accordingly my literary work will reflect the truth behind my involvement and active participation in this crucial “Political race” that will determine the fate of millions of people struggling to meet both ends here at home and around the world.

I knew it was a tremendous responsibility almost comparable to shouldering the weight of the world when rallying for a particular party or a candidate representing the party. Please trust me; it was not something I could get involved with at the blink of an eye. I pondered over and thought carefully about the incredible task of supporting a candidate with the responsibility to govern this great nation that has been brought down on its knees in more than one aspect in the past eight years.

I am disillusioned and disheartened by the latest developments with the “Presidential candidates” representing the Democratic Party as well as the personal experience in the lack of response from the candidate I vehemently supported for my direct and forthright questions on vital issues concerning the people of this great country and millions around the globe. I will be publishing all of my correspondence in my forthcoming book.

As clarified by the discerning journalists in the media and press corps, there is absolutely no distinction in the policy matters between the two democratic candidates. That in itself is very frustrating for the electorate not to have choices addressing their specific needs and demands rather than the candidates’ agenda with a “placebo” for current economic, social and political ailments our nation is experiencing at this particular time. I had indicated this several times to the candidate I supported, Senator Obama with no response or attention to the cause.

The perfect analogy for their economic and political solutions to the impending serious national and global crisis would be, the “Presidential Campaign” turned into a “Sophisticated Salesman/womanship” with products and services not necessarily suitable for the consumer requirements yet aggressively marketed against the will of the target.

I felt that it was not only unethical but also inappropriate to drive the campaign on false premise as I had stated in my candid communication with the candidate Senator Obama whose campaign slogan has been phrased as “representing the people and not the power”.

I reiterated on the urgency to address the issues relevant to the people suffering on different dimensions at home and around the globe. There are more that will be revealed in my forthcoming book.

The character and leadership qualities are important components to fulfill the duties and obligations of the highest office of the “President of the United States”. Unfortunately, both candidates have miserably failed due to their own “Gaffe’s”, alliances and affiliations remotely or otherwise and alarmingly disproportionate tales of “Foreign Policy” experience combined with divisive, polarization tactics all to benefit their own interest of making history in the twenty first century.

The present time is very unusual and has far too many challenges to contend with for the next “President”. The revival of economic prosperity for the people must supercede “Symbolic Politics”. We are dealing with serious economic crisis in terms of housing, health care, education, employment, environmental and last but not the least skyrocketing energy costs that are debilitating the national and global economy.

In light of the present scenario from the dissection of the democratic primary turmoil, I arrived at this conclusion that neither of the current “Presidential contenders” are eligible for the Democratic Party nomination or have the solutions for the grave situation confronted by the nation and the global community. I am well aware of the social, political and emotional turbulence from presumably “cavalier” approach. It is wise to possess rescue equipments in reserve when testing waters in un-chartered regions to deal with any repercussions.

GOP – Please don’t hold your breath as the above decision does not necessarily imply that the Democratic Party is incompetent to lead the nation because of the damage inflicted upon themselves and the party by the current “Presidential candidates”. In fact, the search for intellect and leadership talent in the Democratic Party is not a treacherous treasure hunt but lies in the sharp vision and discernment of the electorate.

The uninhibited proposal to salvage the Democratic Party from the deadlock situation and the potential fragmentation of the party leading to an inevitable tragic defeat in the general election in November 2008 is to invite the dynamic duo, non-controversial and formidable candidates the former Vice President, Nobel Peace Laureate, environmental crusader Al Gore and the honorable Senator Russ Feingold from Wisconsin with an exemplary Senate record as the strong opponent of the illegal Iraq war, fiscal conservative, Bipartisanship achievements against the “Washington” gridlock, favorable to “Single Payer” health care policy, “Gay Rights” and all of the issues that matter every citizen of this country to represent the Democratic Party as “President and Vice President” and win the “White House” graciously as a unanimous choice.

The strategy of “Gore, Feingold” ticket is to win the big states like Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, California, New York, Massachusetts and small states Wisconsin, Wyoming, Virginia and others alike against the robust GOP in the general election.

For all those disgruntled and disappointed democrats, independents and disenchanted republicans looking forward to “Change” and “historic precedence” in 2008 “Presidential race”, the “Gore, Feingold” team will aptly qualify with the “Nobel Peace Laureate for Presidency” and “Honorable First Jewish American Senator” for “Vice Presidency” positioned to govern the nation as the “President” accordingly.

Much to the astonishment of the establishment and the contenders, the proposition is in the best interest of the people across the nation. It would unite the Clinton and Obama supporters spilt evenly to benefit Senator McCain as evident in the recent “National Polls”. The republican status will continue to rise in the coming months as the character flaws and leadership deficiencies of both “Democratic Candidates” are highlighted by themselves and one another with further fermentation by the Republican Party determined to continue the legacy of carnage, chaos and catastrophe.

The democratic contenders eager to achieve their political ambitions might suddenly agree to compete as a team against the republican nominee Senator McCain but tragically the outcome will overwhelmingly favor the Republican nominee due to the mud slinging, scandals, controversies in the primaries that has polarized and fatigued the democrats and swayed the independents towards the republican party right now. There will be arguments that the current scenario is a teething process and dissipate after the Democratic convention. It is a wishful thinking that there will be no political shenanigans against the “well exposed and battered” “Democratic Candidates” by the GOP in the general election.

At the same time, unarguably the recommended “Gore, Feingold” team will be subject to vilification, scrutiny and the Republican strategy. The potential “Anti-Semitism” and “Anti-environment” attacks will have serious backlash against the republican hopefuls in the general election.

The compelling moment is to convince the current candidates to honorably step aside and allow the prospective candidates the former Vice President Al Gore and Senator Russ Feingold to represent the Democratic Party in the general election. Since both candidates Senator Obama and Senator Clinton vowed during the “Presidential debates” to honor the will of the electorate and pledged support in keeping the Democratic Party united, this is the opportunity for both of them to fulfill their commitment.

As for the prospective candidates, the former Vice President Al Gore and Senator Russ Feingold; the nation and the entire world is in dire state with burgeoning economic, energy, environmental crisis demanding effective and honorable leadership in “Washington” to uplift the economic, social and political status of American people and the global community.

It is no secret that the national reputation under the incumbent administration has suffered enormously and would make no difference if the electorate choice for “Presidency” in 2008 is lacking in credibility, competence and commitment to resolve major national and international crises.

The former Vice President Al Gore’s mission to save the planet from further degradation will remain a feat in the twenty first century if “Washington” is not represented by dynamic and decisive leadership especially with respect to energy, defense and nuclear policy.

The frustrated and economically devastated electorate request the prospective candidates the former Vice President Al Gore and Senator Russ Feingold to consider the invitation seriously and step forward to accept the responsibility for the benefit of mankind, future of the Democratic Party, hopes and dreams of millions of Americans yearning for better life and above all a “Patriotic Duty” to defend and honor the great nation as the ‘President and the Vice President of the United States”.

A duty-bound solider or citizen never defies the call to serve the nation at the hour of need.

We are at the crossroads of choosing the leader not only to govern the powerful nation but also a visionary to lead the entire world in the direction of peace, progress and prosperity only possible with a team possessing leadership qualities to serve the highest office on land.

America, let us move forward with the two candidates the former Vice President Al Gore and Senator Russ Feingold for Democratic Party and battle against the presumptuous Republican nominee Senator John McCain and take the “White House” back for the good of humanity.

Remember the people have the “Power” in a democratic society to turn “possibility” into a “reality”. We have no time to rest but to act immediately and end this charade once and for all.

Please urge the Democratic National Committee, Congressional representatives and the prospective candidates to honor the above request and lead the Democratic Party to a stunning victory in the year 2008.

You owe it to yourself, your children, family and everything you live for.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
