A Missed Opportunity : Open Call to Stewart and Colbert



You have the power and you had once in a life time opportunity to engage our youth and adults in a healthy social and political discourse.
Why did you miss it?
Why did you not tell all of us to go out and be heard?
Only way to change the world is to be a part of the change.
Why did you not challenge us to go out and vote?
So much of your audience kept waiting and hoping and waiting to hear this.
Imagine the impact if, instead of 20-30% population which normally vote in a mid term election, because of you 80% voted.
David Zurawik at the Baltimore Sun headlines "Stewart-Colbert: A rally signifying nothing".
That may be too simplistic but you had the captive audience, bully pulpit and your enormous creative talent.You failed to make an impact.
You have shown repeatedly on your show how much influence you can have.
You still have 48 hours to go. Please push the next two nights to fight and engage with a force and ingenuity which only you two can.
