More election day posting...

I keep getting teared up when I think abou the fact that Barack Obama could be our President-Elect in less than 24 hours.

My entire adult life, since the first year of high school, we have had a Republican in power. We have stood by, screaming and waving signs and writing letters while our name has been destroyed. We stood by in horror while our government has killed a hundred thousand Iraqi civillians. Women's rights and gay rights have been erroded under the guise of morality.

Now we stand on the cusp of change. If the voice of America is allowed to triumph... we will have Barack Obama as President.

How could you not shed a few tears?
