Get the Vote Out

It's election day! Get out and VOTE!
(even though it's likely noone but me reads this blog.)

I'm proud to be a part of this historical election. For the first time in my life, I've campaigned for a candidate who I strongly feel is what this country, and the world, needs. Not that what outsiders think is the important issue, but what it says. When the rest of the world is looking upon what once use to be the most powerful nation in the world and shaking its head, there's something sorely wrong. Like one journalist put it, we're not just electing the US leader, we're electing a world leader. It's not a coincidence the world is rooting alongside us for Obama.

He has dedicated himself to the betterment of his community, and now the country, and tomorrow the world. Because he's about uniting common causes. Because he's worked his ass off to better himself, and to better the world that surrounds him. Because he's maintained a level head and unbelievable integrity through a constant barrage of outrageous attacks. Because he's shown insight. reason. intelligence. and accomplishment. Because he has shown us that he is ready to lead.

At this critical juncture, we are about to elect an inspiring president who holds much promise. Who just happens to be black. Now that's the America I'm proud of.
