As our economy continues to diminish, our national debt becomes greater and our military tires of battle, we the people begin to wonder of our own futures.  With the continuation of our current political direction, the longevity of our nations greatest principles are at stake.  It is difficult to know what lies before us, but it is clear that this is the time for serious action and a time for immeadiate change. 

The exposure of our nation's most significant political election throughout recent history has begun with an overwhelming movement of minorities, youth, and an internal desire for change.  This election marks a point in our history that will never be forgotten. 

In these troublesome and uncertain times it is necessary for the unification of our America to begin; taking our first steps into the future.  The power of our individual vote has been diminished and discarded by those who take advantage and exploit us to win an election; instead of encouraging us to move forward and clasp our need for true leadership.

            This movement of hope, and the demand for change is altering the face of predictable politics.  The evidence is clear, and the message is defining.  The power of the disillusioned people has sparked a desire that emboldens those that cry out for a new direction.  So many times before, real change has begun in the hearts and minds of the few, who challenged the status quo and encouraged those around them to question what is by insisting on what should be.

            As you look across the landscape of America and see those that suffer, those that mourn, and those that hope, it is impossible to deny the necessity of change.  Like a breath of fresh air, the possibility of a new direction is within our grasp.  It is imperative to bask in this moment and once again believe in the greatness of a nation that carries an opportunity for prosperity unlike any other. 

            I encourage you to go forth and challenge yourselves with a belief in the possibility of change, and the expectation of truth.  Deny those who discourage you, and hold on to the vote that was given to you. Use it to speak out and tell them to beware this movement; because, “yes, we can” bring change.

            “Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.”  - Sen. Barack Obama
