Dear Presidential Candidate:
We are writing to you on behalf of a new, more conscious electorate. As the potential next President of the United States, you know that we are living in a remarkable moment in human history. Millions of people around the world are crying out for a higher quality of life.
A global grassroots movement has already formed. Thanks to a wave of rising consciousness, countries once consigned to the Third World are praying, seeking, struggling and working for positive, even redemptive change. Given the opportunity to participate in the voting process, emerging populations will express their political will and spiritual aspirations for the future.
In that light, we want to ask you six questions:
1. How open are you to welcome and encourage a more inclusive political dialogue?
We are thinking about those who are at the margins of the political establishment.
