Sweet Victory! Obama is President-Elect!

I am still stunned – stunned in a happy, elated, hopeful way!  My faith and hope in this country is once again restored.  I am so happy to see our democracy in action and so happy that we got it right.  Even Virginia went blue for the first time since 1964!  Way to go Virginia!  [...]

I voted and more importantly…Erick voted!

The campaign push is now “Get Out the Vote” [...]

My manifesto – why I support Barack Obama

I support Barack Obama for President because:
His character/background
His ability to inspire – I have never been as hopeful about our country than I am today and never have I been as passionate about politics.  I wonder if this is how my parents felt about Kennedy?  Obama has an uncanny ability to inspire people and get [...]

Make an informed decision for the election

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, so I would encourage everyone to take their decision in the upcoming presidential election very seriously this year and make an informed decision.
It’s no secret that I’m an Obama supporter, and I feel comfortable saying that to anyone because I have reasons to back up my opinion and have [...]
