This morning Barack Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States.
As he walked onto the platform in Springfield, Illinois (to a Bono tune) I knew I was watching history being made. He is the candidate I’ve been waiting for.
I was committed to supporting him before his speech this morning and now there will be no stopping my support. His words today are still running through my mind:
“Let’s be the generation that ends poverty in America.” Check – I’m all for that.
“We will have Universal healthcare by the end of the next President’s term.”
Check again.
“Plans to bring the troops home by March 2008.” Amen to that.
He believes we can do this. I believe he can lead us. I have no idea what role I will play in this but if you want to be on my email list, send an email to obamayes@yahoo.com with “yes” in the subject line and I will put you on my newsletter list.
