The difference between Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” Speech and any political rhetoric we’re experiencing now is the difference between love and hate, the difference between inspiration and loathing.
At no other time in my life have I been more inspired by this speech and at no other time have I been more disenfranchised with our political leaders.

Kings assertion that:
’Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ – Martin Luther King, Jr.
should drive political messaging. Never in my life have I been so disgusted and so irritated with the political rhetoric driven by accusation, misinformation and hate.
It’s beneath us. All of us.
Contact your senators and representatives and encourage political campaigning without hate.
You don’t have to like Martin Luther King to understand its’ longevity. The message is honorable and inspiring, whether or not you agree with his politics. Politicians may want to ask themselves, “Would my children, grandchildren and fellow Americans watch my political message 10, 20, 50 years from now with pride and honor?” If the answer is no, go back to the drawing board.
