Yes We Can

I might not be able to sleep tonight.

Whether or not you supported Barack Obama, the President-Elect, in this year's election, I hope that you recognize the truly important thing for the future of America:

Unity.

McCain or Obama, either way, I hope that you stand behind the President of the United States.

Please continue to question authority. Continue to voice your opinion. Continue to fight for your rights.

But please, please, please... recognize that you live in the greatest country on the face of the earth. The world is a mess right now... and now, more than ever, is the time for all Americans to work together and fix the problems faced over the last 8 years.

From Obama's Acceptance Speech, according to http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/11/05/president-elect-barack-obamas-acceptance-speech/

"America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?"

Politics will no longer be expected to work from the top down... It is the responsibility of the people to keep our leaders honest.

I also believe in compromise... that's why I will stay awake until the Senate races are done... I am kind of afraid in the overwhelming amount of power obtained by the democratic party tonight. I can only hope that our politicians will abstain from resorting back to the "us vs. them" mentality that has occupied our politics for so long.

Compromise: one of the main reasons why this country is so great. Don't forget the minority.

And of course, Welcome to the new America.
