I became a Great Aunt today at 5:30 pm and besides being a happy family event it has only served to strengthen my resolve to see Barack Obama elected! My new Great Niece deserves a better country and future than John McCain represents. She deserves to live in a country that cares for people more than war or corporate profits. She deserves a President who will protect her reproductive rights and give her equal pay; who will improve her educational opportunities; who will make sure her family has adequate healthcare; who will help to protect the environment she will grow up in so that she won't suffer the health problems associated with pollution or poisoned food or a planet in peril from global warming. She deserves an economy that values the work done by her parents and provides jobs so that one day she won't face the economic hardship that comes from being unemployed. She deserves to be valued more than just as an incidental worker bee for some corporate slave master who makes billions while employees struggle to get by. She deserves to live in a country that does not live in fear of harm from nations we have attacked unprovoked or that we have tried to micro-manage for our benefit without regard for their people, their culture, and their own needs. In short, she deserves a President whose ambition is to protect the rights and welfare of his countrymen and country rather than seeking power and wealth through cronyism at the expense our childrens futures. My new Great Niece's future is more important than John McCain's selfish ambition.
