Whether you vote for the Red, the Green, or the Blue... we are all part of the Red, White, and Blue... let go of the bitterness and hurt feelings... the name calling, and the eye-rolling...
because when it all comes down to it... we are the United States of America, and that is part of what makes us so great... no matter whose party wins tomorrow, remember that we all win because we are what makes America great... United, we stand... divided, we fall.
... but no matter what, please show respect to one another - and please exercise your right to take part in this great process... educate yourself if you haven't already, and vote...
it's what REAL Americans do... black, white, brown, yellow, purple, red, mocha, and rainbow... we are REAL AMERICANS... and REAL AMERICANS take a part in the process our ancestors fought so hard for and our the Veterans continue to fight for...
... real Americans do not put down one another for having different opinions and views from one another... Real Americans aren't segregated in any part of the country... we aren't just the ones who have 2.5 kids, two cars, and a dog named, Bo... we are ALL REAL AMERICANS... and guess what?!
This land is YOUR land, and it sure as hell is MY land, too... this land was made for you and me!
Love ya, mean it,

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)
