LeeAnn I apologize for not getting the spelling or your name correct.
I just wanted to add something and it is not meant to single you out specifically but to the people that this applies to only. I have found that some people have racial biasis, intentional or unintentional (known or unknown)because where they are from and how they have been raised. Because where we are from and how we have been raised, we often cannot identify or comprehend and fear others because of our differences. Our differences and fears don’t allow us to accept the things that we have in common, which are actually more than our differences. When trying to move this country forward and at present, our Democratic party, we will have to see past our inconsequential differences and embrace our common interests, for the Democratic party to take over the White House. What difference does it make whether the person in the White House is a man, a woman, a black, white, asian, hispanic or native american? Does the candidate share most of your views? Is he or she trying to make change that is benefical to not only our party, but the country? Is that candidate asking you to take part in changing the country? If so, that is who we should be looking to. Someone who will overlook race, color or creed to move this country forward and gradually heal our economic crisis by creating more jobs, changing NAFTA, helping this country go green, paying teachers better and helping our children become more competitive academically to ensure a better for their lives and their children’s lives. Any candidate that promises automatic success for the country once he or she gets in office is not being honest with us or with themselves. I have to agree with Barack Obama when he says that “change is not going to happen overnight” He says that it is going to take not only the president, but the people of this great country to step up, work hard, work together to build this great country back up again. The honesty and truth about what Obama says about all of us working hard and working together to make the country better, not just the president and government is something I believe in and why I choose to vote for him. I trust him and find him to be sincere about helping changing the country for the better.
