We are the ones we've been waiting for. It's not just a line. Many of us have sat idly on the sidelines, cynical, weary, uninspired. We are the 'closet Democrats'. Ashamed of our party, our candidates, and probably more often than not, feeling helpless to combat the yelling, screaming arguers of what seems like endless nonsense from the 'talking heads' on the Right.
It has been all too much for far too long. Now we are awakened and owing our own power and our voices again. Not all of us started supporting Barack Obama, but none of us are waiating for Barack Obama to tell us what to say. We are saying what we believe and not always agreeing, but we are engaged again, or for many of us for the first time in our adult lives.
We don't mindlessly follow. If we did, we would have been Republicans, following George W. Bush over a cliff. We waited and we found what we were waiting for. I'm not even saying that Barack Obama won't let us down. I suspect he will because he is human. But I believe he is a good man and that he can take this great nation in the direction it needs to go so that we are strong and prosperous once again, and respected as a leader in the world.
I'm so looking forward to it.
Peace and Love,
Megan
