Today is History – A Change Has Come – Barack Obama for President

Words can not express how I felt when Barack Obama officially became the first Black American to get the Democratic presidential nomination. Today we are living history.

R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N (Time to Change)
By Shelia M. Goss

Revolution started many years ago on the back of the broken-hearted, resulting from

Evil men’s egos who thought it was okay to enslave the mind and

Violate the body and whoever was against it were either maimed or killed

Only the strong survived. Now here we are in a new day and time, some of us

Living the dream that King talked about, we can not live our life recklessly, leaving the memory of our ancestors behind.

United we must stand, because history shows how far divided we can fall.

Too many people fought and died for the things we now enjoy.

Instead of complaining, be thankful and be ready for action when injustice surfaces.

Oppressed? Distressed? Then take the time to think of some solutions. This

November – Take a Stand and Vote for the right man - Barack Obama for President!!!

Let’s celebrate this moment in history together and make more history together in November.

Angelia, I was watching it with my mom when Hillary passed the motion and it was made official. To share the moment with my mom was monumental to me too.

Monumental. He dared to dream and now he is one step away from the ultimate prize. I hope he inspires others, especially younger generations of minorities, to reach for the stars and if they don’t reach the stars, hopefully they land on the moon or the highest peak. Success breeds success and seeing someone who looks like you smash the glass ceiling should be inspiration to all us people of color!

The Comeback Girl – I don’t care what anybody says today, they won’t steal my joy. High-five sister

John I plan on calling all my nephews to make sure their parents have them watch his speech tonight. I know it’s a school night but its worth them staying up late just once.

“The Comeback Girl – I don’t care what anybody says today, they won’t steal my joy. High-five sister ”

thats right…not even the NBRA (national black rebublican association) how and the hell did I end up on their mailing list for ONE vote for Michael Steele I don’t know. But they need to stop it. Martin Luther King may have been a (R) but he dang sure would be voting for Barak.
