Across America today, we find ourselves living in the echo of Lincoln’s warning. The divide between Democrats and Republicans has become so sharp that it threatens the very foundation of our democracy. Instead of working together to serve the people, too many of our leaders now focus on drawing lines, hardening sides, and keeping citizens locked inside political camps.
The result is fear — fear of speaking openly, fear of disagreement, and fear that any discussion may collapse into outrage.
When Politics Becomes a Battlefield
The purpose of government has always been to represent the people — not just those who vote blue or red, but all who share this land and its future. Yet, today’s politics too often feels like a battlefield rather than a forum for progress.
At every level — local, state, and national — legislatures are failing to legislate. Cooperation has been replaced with obstruction. Negotiation has been replaced with noise. The very institutions meant to serve the American people are now paralyzed by partisanship.
This paralysis comes at a cost: delayed budgets, stalled reforms, weakened trust, and a growing belief among citizens that government no longer listens.
The Erosion of the American Spirit
When politics becomes war, truth becomes its first casualty.
We see it in the rise of misinformation, the spread of hatred, and the tolerance of greed over honesty.
Too many now advance personal gain through privileged access, insider deals, or political theater — while the real needs of Americans go unmet.
At iVoteMyVote (IVMV), we believe this must change.
There is no place in the American spirit for:
-
Bigotry and lies
-
Greed and selfishness
-
Violence and hatred
-
Personal advancement at the expense of public trust
These forces divide our house — and if not addressed, they will weaken it beyond repair.
The Lesson from History
In the darkest days of World War II, Americans from every background set aside differences to stand united against tyranny.
That same spirit of unity — of working together for something greater than ourselves — is what built this nation.
We face no foreign invader today, but the challenge is just as real:
We must now defend our democracy from within — from the dangers of division, apathy, and extremism.
As Lincoln understood, a divided house cannot endure. But a united one can overcome any obstacle.
What We Stand For
At IVMV, we call on political leaders — from both parties — to remember their duty:
Not to a campaign, not to a party, not to personal ambition, but to the American people.
We call for:
-
Cooperation over confrontation
-
Dialogue over division
-
Service over self-interest
It’s time for our leaders to do their job: to legislate responsibly, on time, and with respect for the people who sent them to Washington.
A Call to Every American
Healing this divide will not come from politicians alone. It begins with each of us — choosing respect over rage, and conversation over contempt.
The health of our democracy depends not on winning arguments, but on keeping our shared home — America — standing strong.
