What a convention huh?! The Future starts now and it starts with us. However, Now is the time to work, we have 66 some days until the election.

Tabling, Going door to door, talking with friends and family, registering voters and signing up volunteers, with so much to do we cannot win in November without you.

People have said for years that the youth in this country don't care... I firmly disagree, not this time, not this year. The torch has been passed and we are going to run and fight for it. This is our time.

One last thing, we have been witness to 8 years of partisan politics, and divisive speech. When words like Rights, Terrorist, Patriotic, Conservative and Liberal have all but lost their original meanings. Just like Sen. Obama said in his historic speech, we are better than the last 8 years under President Bush. I say we should not use our anger in the form of useless and sometimes hurtful words that make us look low-class and don't serve any purpose in our lexicon. If someone comes up and calls you a "liberal" fight back with knowledge about the issues, ask them to explain their positions, think of them as potential voters for Obama that are just a little more stubborn than most.

On that note, regarding Gov. Palin of Alaska. I have heard some people refer to her in terms that do not belong in this campaign. We are better than name calling. She is a very capable and formidable candidate that deserves our respect and should not be underestimated. Independents and undecideds could see this and say "well if they're gonna promote talking about her like that, i'm going over to McCain."

This is a new kind of campaign. One of hope, change, and yes, a campaign of class.

The most historic and important campaign of our life times, probably in our country's history, should not be reduced to name calling, and low-blows.

We are better than the last 8 years and better than that.
