Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Only one thing is certain.
In your heart, you know it to be true.
The only person who matters is you.
That is the core of democracy,
a republic which is not a theocracy,
nor a monarchy, nor autocracy.
No man or woman will come to save your nation.
Now, pay attention
to school boards and zoning boards,
and definitely boards of election
where you will find your greatest protection.
Watch the mayors, governors and secretaries of state.
Do they make decisions with love or hate?
Vote out those who help keep his curtain closed
before it is too late.
The man behind the curtain is a wizard and a clown
who loves the limelight and will never fight
to keep the nation safe, nor guarantee your rights.
The man behind the curtain entertains himself
by entertaining fear in everyone else.
Those who serve him bow down in disgrace
and forfeit the security of any safe space
to exercise their freedom of ideas.
They can no longer listen to you.
They must do what he says they must do.
He looks for a way to escape.
Leave him to stew.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Only one thing is certain.
That is you.
VOTE!
