A CHANGE is gonna come

As a journalist, I am expected to remain impartial on the issues even when everyone else expresses their views so freely. Well on the morning of a such a momentous occasion, I feel justified in breaking that rule because I feel more passionate about this presidential election than I've ever felt about anything else EVER.

As I type away on my computer, through the tears that threaten to spill from my eyes, I am proud to announce to the world and the infinite web audience that I am without a shadow of a doubt Probama!

Yes I voted early, and I am proud to say that I cast my ballot for the first Black president of the United States. Yes I am Black, but I did not vote for him because of his race, I voted for the BEST man for the job.

I voted not for myself, but for my niece, godsons and my own unborn children. I voted because I know that change doesn't happen overnight and so I took a stand today for their better tomorrows. I voted to plant the seed so that their generation may reap the harvest. I voted unselfishly for CHANGE because I want to leave this world a better place than it was when I found it.

I voted because I know that if you do what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten. I voted for the man that WILL get the job done. I voted because I have faith that I can help correct the mistakes of the past by voting to elect a visionary leader for the future.

The journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step and I am proud to say that I took a step in the right direction...
