I've tried not to say up until this point who I was going to support in this years Presidential election. I wanted time to make a proper decision and I knew that my support might swing the vote in favor of my candidate. Being a politician myself, I understand that. People have called it the "A" factor. Oprah's got her "O" factor, I've got an "A" Factor (I think there is a need for more factors that are just single letter vowels. I'm just sayin). Well super Tuesday is coming up and my guy is almost neck and neck with Hillary. Here, check out the Gallup Poll. Now these are national polls so they have less to do with what's going to happen this Tuesday, but it'll give you an idea. Whoever wins the Democratic primary is going to be the next president. Let's make sure the next president is an agent of change, not a trip back to the past (Glorious as it was before GWB). Barack gives us hope. Watch this video, read the trascript, do your research, VOTE.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
Yes we can.
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can.
