Change is Upon Us

I stood in line for 1 hour and 15 minutes to vote for change...and apparently I wasn't the only one. I sat on the edge of my chair all evening and cried when the announcement was made. Barack Obama has been elected president. I was humbled at the poll today. I watched parents bring their children to witness a historic day. I watched elderly men and women stand for over an hour to vote. I watched a lady who had been turned away from two polling places, stand for yet another hour to vote. It was the best spend hour and 15 mintues of my life. It reaffirmed my faith in the American people. Yes, change is upon us...a much needed change.
