A bright future..

Today marks a new beginning for our country. We stood up, we shouted from the rooftops, we refused to be bullied. The American people declared in no uncertain terms, we will not be lied to, we will not be overlooked, we will not be treated as anything other than equal in the eyes of our government. You can not write off women, or minorities, or the poor and expect to become the leader of those people. The American people re-discovered our voice, and it feels great.

Why did Romney lose? Why did Akin and Murdoch and Walsh lose? They lost because they made us angry, they made us afraid, they made us the target of their hatred and morality, and we had no choice but to stand up and tell them NO.

We all have our sides, our own reasons for voting the way we do, and this election has been extremely polarizing. Now it is time to re-connect with those we have turned away from, it is time to remember that we all have the same rights, that we are all Americans and deserve the respect others demand of us. The message is clear: you are not more important than your neighbor because you are christian, or white, or rich, or straight, or male. You are equal.

I support our President, I believe he has the best interests of the people in mind, I believe that President Obama can and will create a country that we can be proud of again.
