Barack Obama - The next President of the U.S.A.

What a thrilling and hopeful night. Sitting with 3 Hillary delegates and a young first voter, each representing a different culture and different race, we held hands and marveled at how far we've come. Barach Obama represents that journey and speaks to all of us about how we must, together not divided, move toward the future, not the past, towards change, hope and policies that lift all of us, women,men, children, poor, middle class, rich, gay, lesbian, heterosexual, to a better life.
It was an inspiring speech an inspiring program and a wonderful night. I am coming home ready to work for his campaign and am asking all those who helped me with Hillary to help me work for an Obama/Biden ticket. You also need to know that she truly wants him elected and without him policies that she has worked so hard for concerning women and children's rights, education and universal health care will not come about. She spoke to her delegates in a special meeting and I came away truly convinced of her desire for us to follow her lead and support Barack Obama.
For those of you, like Den and I, who will be using Medicare or Social Security, you need to help me to. Obama and Biden will strengthen and repair (eliminate the donut hole) these helpful and even life saving programs. John McCain will privatize them which is a way of making us pay for all of those services and lead to large profits for drug companies and Wall Street investment firms.
You will be hearing from me soon. Go Obama/Biden!!
