So here we are…
Today we decide what direction that we the people wish to take our country and the rest of the world. It’s an incredible crossroads of so many unique events all coming to a head at the same time and we must decide exactly what we are going to do about all of these monumental issues facing us. It’s about restoring our faith with the rest of the world after 5 years of war with a country who didn’t attack us 7 years ago on that day in September. It’s about bringing justice to those who did attack us on that day. It’s about making sure that we have our future that we all work so hard for all of our lives. It’s about breaking the boundaries of race and overcoming the prejudices so deeply rooted from past generations. It’s about having leadership that we feel we trust to make those impossibly tough decisions that most of us would hope we never have to make ourselves. It’s about making sure that we are preserving the planet that we live on so that it’s here for future generations to come.
No matter who you are, you have a stake in this election. The outcome will affect every human life on earth.
The first two towns in New Hampshire have already cast their votes. The first was in Dixville Notch who voted 15 to 6 for Senator Obama. The second was Hart’s Location who voted 17 to 10 for Obama, with 2 write-in votes for Ron Paul. Historically there isn’t any particular correlation between these two towns, who have always voted first in the nation since 1948, and the rest of New Hampshire or the rest of the electorate. But maybe, just maybe, it’s an omen of what’s to come. The last Democrat that Dixville Notch voted for in a general election was in 1968 for Hubert Humphrey when he was running against Nixon.
Make your voice heard. Get out and vote. Be part of this historic election and make sure we choose the right path for our country and the world.
I’m sick of fear, give me hope.
Yes We Can.
It will be such a long day. Whatever your persuasion/preference, voting is the only opportunity for you to have a choice. After the election, whoever is in office, will be making choices for “we the people” and we can only hope they are representing us and not their personal agendas.
The future world can be a whole lot different for everyone. And whatever the results are today, we need to remember to keep our voices loud and clear, and to be heard so that the right and fair things are done in our towns, states, country and the world. The United States Of America are so special when they are represented as they are intended to be through the lawful application of the Constitution as written by the founding fathers.
Well written
If you are bored and you have some time, check out the wall-to-wall debate I was having on facebook with my conservative republican cousin, Cale, in PA. He’s a fabulously well educated guy, so he made some good points, even if I didn’t agree with them. As you can see from all the you tube video clips on my facebook page, I am delirious with Obama joy!!
