We need to talk.
I know that protecting your children from terrorism, and all the overt and covert warnings issued by the GOP about how America will meet its fiery death if Democrats should seize control of our national security, will be foremost in your minds when you go to the voting booths in a few weeks.
But indulge me for a moment, while I give you something else to consider. Let's call it our domestic security.
It's the kind of security that comes from knowing your job is safe, you've got good health insurance, your kids are getting the kind of education that will make them competitive and open doors of opportunity in their future, the air you breathe and water you drink isn't poisoning you, you've got enough well-equipped cops and firemen to protect you, and your elected representatives take things like the sexual exploitation of children seriously.
