waiting for the biggest change of all. I want to speak to you and let you know that tomorrow we have the power to profoundly change the course of the missile that bush launched 8 long years ago. although being a canadian living in the us, i do not have the right to vote( i would like to get into that but i won't) I will be working at the civic center from dawn till night, the civic center is the place where those who have not registered can register and vote on the same day. I wish i could speak to every single person coming into that building specially the ones that don't believe in fundamental change, those who are stuck in generational voting based on what there parents church and peers have always done, because this is not there fight- this is not their vote it is yours. Your vote should be based on what? on facts and what you have experience in the last 8 years. I could list some of those we have in common such has gas, prices, the cost of groceries at your local supermarket, the changes taking place at your work place, a war that you seem to ignore yet takes money right out of your children's education not to mention has killed your neighbors children perhaps even yours... it is the tension and home that has caused stress in your marriage, the summer vacation that had to be tweaked, the sport you did 'nt encourage your son or daughter to take part in... or maybe it is even deeper that- maybe it is guilt for voting for someone who did not have your family's best at heart, one who ignore your pleads and told the rest of the world you don't care ...
so listen you get a second chance to make things right for you, your family, neighbors and for the world..do the right thing vote for a man who has promised to make your life better, a man who knows that his work will be the toughest of any president before him, a man that knows he will be shoveling this country out of a mountain of dirt, a man who knows you and your needs, worries and what you treasure most.....
Please vote for what you know is right and what is right right now is OBAMA..

oh, nadia, i so hope you are right. it scares me so to think that we could have another four years of disaster and destruction.
tomorrow i go, books in hand, to stand in line as long as it takes to do my part to get Barack Obama into the Oval Office.
hmm. I tried to talk to people on the other side, and i don't think they wanted to listen. Let's just hope there are more people like us than people like them. A least tomorrow. Thank you for working that day. I'll be in line. My fingers are so crossed I have lost feelings in my hands;-)
please print your heartfelt remarks, and put the paper someplace safe for your future children to read.
thank god it's the day after, and obama is president.
president-elect, i should have written.
