Dear Harriet
I didnt email yesterday. By the time I got home from visiting my uncle I was shattered. Its normally a drive I can do with ease, but Im so tired lately.
Tired physically and tired emotionally.
Fighting all the time is draining. Im tired of having to fight.
But fighting has become a way of life for me. There is always a reason to be fighting, a fire that needs putting out somewhere, a battle to be had. This isnt the life I chose- no one chooses their personal struggles, whatever the conservative rhetoric may tell you. Each is given his own cross to bear by a greater power: it is what it is.
I dont choose to fight: I must. Because if I dont fight who will? who will stand up for me and my children? who will stand up for the disabled? the homeless? the veterans? the sick? the poor? the hungry?
It isnt just a case of Chrisitan values; it is social conscience/
I dont just ask you to stand up for me and my kin: I ask you to stand up for the whole of society but especially the most vulnerable of society.
This is moral.
This is right.
This is socialism.
And we need it.
The Labour party must return to socialism if it truely wants a fair society. Because all the time it does not, no one speaks up for the vulnerable, and injustice continues.
Speak up, and help stop the injustice.
