President Kennedy\\u2019s speech he was set to deliver on the very day when he was tragically assassinated included this plea to the nation, \\u201clet us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation\\u2019s future is at stake.\\u201d Every presidential election is important, but it is not an exaggeration to say that both global and domestic issues are at stake this week in unprecedented ways. No matter who wins the election, a huge portion of the country will be deeply disappointed, and it is not unrealistic to fear more than vitriolic language as there are those who literally want to start a civil war. So let\\u2019s strive to be the good people who will go high when others go low so that we can shepherd our nation through the coming tumult towards a better 2021.
