Tomorrow...

As everyone who reads this knows, tomorrow is the big day. We have all worked very hard for the past weeks, months, and some of the past year. I have to steal a quote from Michelle Obama is stating for the first time in my life I am proud of my country. I feel for the first time in my life my generation has a renewed vigor in the political process behind Barack Obama. I feel racial inequality has finally had a chance to be cast aside for the most powerful position in this nation's government. Millions have taken an active part in a poltical campaign through both donations of money, but more importantly time. As I stated in my last post I was able to see the youth who cannot even vote stepping up and doing their part for their country.

This is what America is supposed to be. One transcending race, creed, age, and gender to put the best interests of this country and the rest of the world first. Our ability in this country to care for our fellow citizens if one thing which I feel set us apart from the rest of the world. We have an opportunity to continue this legacy tomorrow in the voting booth as we cast out ballots. But it cannot stop there.

Tomorrow will be a long day, a stressful day, but more importantly a day to make history. We can never forget this as we are dragging people to the polls and making sure they do their most precious of civic duties tomorrow. We must put our whole heart into it as we only have 33 hours left in this campaign, a campaign with one common goal, to change our nation. So now I leave you with the words of a man who is much more eloquent in his words than I ever wish to be.

"America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess"
