I Have a Dream


I've been watching the Democratic National Convention and this if the first time that it has brought tears to my eyes.

I shedded tears for my ancestors that were taken away from their homeland, my forefathers that were brought here during the middle passage to be put to work on plantations, for Crispus, Harriett, Sojourner, Shirley, Martin, Malcom, Nelson, Barbara, Jesse, for my mom and dad that told me stories of injustices that they faced in this country while serving in the Armed Services and for having a supportive, loving and intelligent family to draw inspiration, creativity and compassion from. These people dreamed of a better day for everyone, even people that looked like them.

Yes, I wanted Hilary Clinton to be the next president, but at this moment in the now we have Barack Obama and I'm very proud of him and I think when he's elected President of the United States a shift in politics as we know it occur. It's exciting and I'm ready for the change!

Obama / Binden 2008!!

Please Win!!!!
