What an amazing election this has been and what a privilege it is to be a part of American history. My mother called me on the phone a little after it was announced that Obama had won the election. She had been watching with her husband and neighbor and had the sound of tears in her voice. "We won!!! We won!!" she yelled with excitement. "I just had to call you and share the moment. I never thought this day would come!" "So many", she told me, "have fought for basic civil liberties for all and the opportunity to become whomever you want to be in this country. We were so excited when I was young to have John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy speak out against the injustices in the world and it was so discouraging to see all three assassinated. I'm just can't believe the day is finally here." Of course I was excited too, but instead of quickly replying I just sat back and smiled at my mother's exhilaration.
It's time to fix our country people!!!!
