I could not be happier or more relieved to hear a presidential candidate of our beautiful but struggling country speak about consciousness and the idea of aiming for lofty goals without the cynicism we have all become accustomed to. I refuse to embrace the rhetoric that says that the kind of hope and ideals Barack Obama speaks of cannot be acheived without having the kind of leadership that has become mainstream in this country; leadership that is based on special interest monies or based on well executed fear campaigns facilitating the greed of a few and the demise of our honorable standing in the world theatre. I am proud to support Barack Obama in his desire and mission to see America return to her greatness.

I have carefully watched, like everyone else, the campaigns of both the democrats, as well as the republican candidate, and I could safely say that only one candidate is speaking to the beliefs I feel this country was founded on.

I believe, like Barack Obama, that we can change our future, but not by repeating our history. It's my belief that the idea that Barack Obama cannot do the job because of his lack of experience is an empty argument for we have put our faith in experienced Washington insiders who have lied and cheated and look where that has gotten us. And, I will not be deterred in my support of Barack Obama because of ad campaigns that are meant to incite fear in us where our security is concerned, when the candidate running the ad voted to take us into war.

It is time we demand better for ourselves and vote against the cycle of manipulation and insinuation. It is time for us to choose leaders who represent the best parts of ourselves. Everything in this life is about intention and here is our opportunity to say to ourselves and to the world that we deserve and desire better for ourselves and our offspring.

I have great hope that we will begin to see ourselves differently. And, I pray that we will begin to wake up and really emotionally invest in the plight of all people in this country as our own, otherwise, we will continue to stand divided. And, that we find it in ourselves to demand greatness from our leaders and not fall back on what we have endured for so long. It is time for us to dare to be conscious.
