We live in a great country with more opportunity to share thoughts and opinions than any other country that ever existed.  The ancient Greeks, renowned for their citizen participation, left most of their population disenfranchised through gender or slavery.  So we get to hear more from more people which makes our country stronger.  Everyone should speak up and share their opinion.

My opinion is that all the talk taking place at this stage of the presidential campaign is taking place amongst a very tiny niche of the people who should be participating.  I also encourage everyone in the debate to remain as cordial and inviting as possible to encourage more of the main stream Republican party to engage and stay involved through the primary process.  There is a very real possibility that we could hand the Presidency to our first woman candidate by allowing a very focused and motivated group of activists to hijack the nomination.  Let's get everyone talking so the citizens of this country can hear what the real Republican party sounds like.
