I'M CHRIS RICE AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE
Greetings fellow Americans! (and everybody else too, but this message probably only applies to the U.S. right now during an election year). I don't intend to leave anyone out of the discussion, it's just that I have what I feel is an urgent message for the current political environment here in my homeland. And yes, I'm kinda using the blog as a 'commercial' but I think it's a way to involve more people in communicating an important message.
We Americans have forgotten that we're actually 'same team' here. Of course we have a wide range of differing opinions, but we can't let that divide us and paralyze us from the important work our country needs. Elections are one of the processes in this important work, but the sometimes nasty conflicts that election times bring need to be TEMPERED by a higher principle of intelligent, peaceful disagreements.
So, here's one way to encourage that civilized kind of discussion, with as few words as possible, and in a grassroots, personal-realm-of-influence kind of way (and EVERY ONE OF US has a personal realm of influence!) This might be a tool to help you give a message of PEACE to people around you in this sometimes not-so-peaceful time! Maybe overly simple, maybe too idealistic? And maybe the start of a sweeping movement toward a healthier nation who gets along better!
"VOTE, DON'T YELL" t-shirts are available ONLY at STORE.CHRISRICE.COM. This one T-shirt just might keep our country from falling apart during this crazy election year! Ok, maybe not singlehandedly, but part of the medicine our country needs.
Based on the song "You Don't Have To Yell" from my latest CD, here's a message you can wear to encourage intelligent discussion and influence the process of our country's election without all the typical yelling and hate-spewing we're hearing on the campaign trail by all sides, and by all the 'expert' news analysts who can't seem to out-scream each other to make their points.
Hopefully, as I always try to do with my work, presenting a message to make people think and reason. The back of the T-shirt displays my favorite line from the song:
"Louder doesnt' make you right."
How true, and how important a message for the days ahead.
Join the conversation. START the conversation with this T-shirt. And for goodness sake, 'don't yell.'
Available in navy or white! (S, M, L, XL)
