Will True Tenacity Affect Government

Although The Harbinger League, LLC did not publicly endorse any political candidate or party, we have a strong belief in (and commitment to) the American political process. Among our leadership team, we have differing views and will base our individual decisions on a comparison of our personal values, aspirations, and political views with all available candidates.

We encourage you to look beyond a single party loyalty to evaluate the immediate, short-term and long-term benefits (and limitations) of the various policies, ideals and philosophical views presented by the parties. Conservative, independent, and liberal alike must evaluate the platforms and the integrity of all available candidates to decide with a measure of impartiality.

Within any multi-party system, some of us will align with the “first runner-up” in this, the most heated political contest in decades. Yet an important variable of our electoral process is how we respond AFTER the elections have passed. If we value the system in its entirety, we must support the victor, regardless if we voted for him or her. Majority rules.

Yet we can have a long-term impact on the regulations, policies, and ethical standards of our nation. By remaining actively involved (not just in an election year), we can influence our elected officials by phone calls, emails, petitions, and involvement in public forums. Both parties agree that movement to the “left” or to the “right” traditionally occurs in small—often unnoticeable—increments. By remaining involved, you minimize the risk of our society changing too dramatically.

Regardless which party you support, please remain involved in our political process.
