United States of America's democracy is not static but is always evolving to paraphrase President-elect Barack Obama in his speech acknowledging his election.
The electorate of this country continues to change, too, in many ways.
Together, we can all bring change -- yes, we can!
Let's all enjoy this significant time in history that presents an opportunity to bring us together.
Tears of happiness fill my eyes when I think what once was only a dream has become a reality.
These words come to mind:
Pride
Liberty
Hope
Peace
Love
Unity

ReplyDeleteI watched every moment of this historic night....every moment of his historic speech...and felt the tears well in my eyes and the hope in my heart. He is an inspiration to to behold and I believe a man of his word....and he is the man that we need. He is meant to be here...

Democracy is alive and well again.

Indeed, Indeed!
ReplyDeleteThis is a NEW NEW DAY for America and for The World! This gives me so much HOPE for the future of our country, in every way.
And like you, I am so moved by how far we have come....!
What Hattie above me says, is so true! Amen, Amen!
How exciting and humbling to be a part of and a witness to history of this magnitude. I wept last night as I watched the families on the stage after his speech - it is so incredible - yes, we do indeed change and yes, we have come so far.
