It's hard to believe that only two weeks from now we will be going to the polls to vote in this historic election. I know for those of us that have been following this campaign for the past year or more, it seems like a lifetime. I got up today ready for the Sunday morning routine of breakfast with the family and watching Meet the Press. I have to say that I was nearly moved to tears by Colin Powell's endorsement of Senator Obama. There has been such ugliness in the past few weeks, and I was beginning to feel a pit in my stomach from it all. General Powell reminded me that Americans of all walks of life, all faiths, and all political ideologies can come together and see the good in each other and move beyond the culture of fear that has predominated our country for too long.
I have seen so many good things come out of this campaign. My 63-year-old mother and her husband, who have not voted in many years, went out a few weeks ago and registered so they could vote for Barack Obama. My 70-something in-laws, who live in Florida, have been making phone calls, talking to neighbors, and taking a very active role in the ground campaign for Barack in their area. Many of my Republican friends are saying enough is enough and have decided to vote for Barack.
Yes we can. Yes we will...And I can't wait to go to vote on November 4th!
