Soothe Your Election Struggle With This eBook
“He’s a spoiled brat and she’s a power-hungry robot.”
– some of the sentiments shared at an Oct 25th 2016 focus group of undecided and recently decided voters in Charlotte, North Carolina
That about summed up your feelings toward your presidential choices in Election 2016, doesn’t it?
If you’re like many Americans who headed out to the polls, you probably felt embarrassed or angry that these were the two candidates you’re left with. Not exactly soaring examples of what America stands for.
I hear you. I walked this election cycle with you, and each news revelation made me want to hide in a corner, not go out to vote and pray it will somehow all work out for the best.
After all, it’s not like your vote would have mattered anyway.
Not if you live in a firm red or blue State, and not if the whole thing felt somehow rigged.
Why bother, right?
An election like no other
Between the media, the campaigns and your more partisan friends, you’ve heard this a zillion times by now.
This was an election like no other.
And so, unprecedented times called for unprecedented measures. Like voting, even if you hadn’t voted before.
Here’s what a famous American had to say about exercising your vote:
“A share in the sovereignty of the state, which is exercised by the citizens at large, in voting at elections is one of the most important rights of the subject, and in a republic ought to stand foremost in the estimation of the law.”
Alexander Hamilton, George Washington's right-hand man; one of the greatest advocates of the U.S. ConstitutionBridging the gap from vitriol to voting
But it can feel like a stretch to go from so disliking your presidential choices this year, to actually voting for either one of them.
I get it. It was a hard bridge to cross.
Which is why I poured my talents as an independent observer, leadership coach and peaceful leadership advocate into an eBook – to help you get from confusion and disgust to clarity and a desire to, once again, participate in the democratic process our Founding Fathers fought so hard to design and uphold.
This eBook is for you if
– you felt disillusioned, disappointed or undecided about this year’s election
– you were so turned off by how the candidates behaved, you did not even vote (or held your nose if you did)
– you need a little inspiration and light to participate in this political process again, and to believe your voice matters
For $1.99, you’ll receive
– five articles + five 15-minute videos (including transcripts)
– content that highlights key milestones in this election, and how to move through the confusion into a greater sense of peace and purpose
– guidance that helps you put Election 2016 into a saner, healthier perspective
