I choose to think of us all as human beings. We may differ culturally, but we are the same. We originated in the same region of Africa, from the same original humans. Some of us are pale, some of us have more color. Bottom Line is...
WE are ALL human beings.
This morning I went to stand in line for tickets to hear Sen. Obama speak. I'd say, there were at least thousand people standing in line at 9:00AM.
We got up at 6:00AM and drove nearly an hour, to stand in line for 3 hours.
My husband looked around and said,"McCain is going to get hammered, just look around." There were whites, hispanics, asians, blacks, young, old, men, women. It was beautiful. We were a community. We were united. We were talking to each other. Sharing views, experiences, dreams. There were people who had seen Sen. Clinton speak, and had come to see Sen. Obama as well. Trying to decide, open to the process. It was like an old time rock concert. People were smiling, greeting each other, helping each other. Even though it was a long wait, the time passed quickly.
THIS IS WHY I AM A PROUD DEMOCRAT!!!!!
We will be united, we will be fine. This was not San Francisco, CA or NYC, this was Terre Haute, Indiana.

Thank-you, Senator Obama! I have not felt such great promise in a long time.
There is HOPE and YES WE CAN.
peace,
marsha
