Its time for change, and our country heard the cry. We went out in enormous numbers yesterday and did what I had hoped and prayed for. We elected President Barack Obama! We will see change, it will happen. Thru the tears of joy Trevor and I shed last night, we were able to see the light of change coming.
It won't be a pretty, or easy route, but we will get there. Like in life we need to follow the winding road to get to where we want to be. It very seldom is there for us just because we will it to be.
I am very thankful to call myself an American. To watch the news and see the lines of people who waited in line for 4 hours to cast their votes. For the 108 year old woman who went to the poles herself to cast her vote, because she had that right. For the millions of young people between the ages of 18 and 29 who went out to vote...Trevor and I included. It is difficult to convince our generation that it is our duty as American Citizens to make our voices heard.
I am very proud of Senator McCain's speech last night. It made me see that even though he lost the race, he had a clear mind to see the bigger picture, and that we are all a team. Hearing the boos from his crowd was very disheartening. Sore losers I guess.
For those of you who voted for John McCain........Thank you for your votes, Thank you for being apart of Democracy. Remember..... Barack Obama is your President too.
President Obama will listen to your concerns as he will listen to ours. We will need to work together for the change we want to see.
My fellow Americans.........I urge you to remember we live in a Democracy, and are free to believe what we want to believe, and are free to vote for who we want to win. We are free to also have our own opinions on everything and anything in our world today.
In conclusion, I just want to say that we can come together as a country and strive toward the future undivided, and to stand underneath our flag hand in hand, and embrace a world of change. I urge you to look inside your hearts and see that we are all the same deep down, we all want and need a better country, we want and need change.
Thank you,
Vicky Ann!
