The United States is ready for Change!

That word. Oh, how I have come to loath that word during this election. It is not that I do not believe that change is a good thing. Nor is it that I don't believe that change can come from someone who I fundamentally disagree with. My main issue is that it was thrown around with reckless abandon and was never accompanied by a clear plan to actually evoke change in this country.
So, while I congratulate Barack Obama on an excellent rhetorically driven campaign, I remain sceptical as to any real change occuring in our nation.
Many find that with the elections over, there is no reason to continue to follow politics. It is the lull between elections. I highly disagree. I plan to look for that "change". It may happen and I hope that people pay attention to it.

I also hope to begin a series of posts about the Constitution. As I am doing my own research, I plan to write about my findings here to give people a better idea of why I am so enamored with a document written over 200 years ago. I also welcome suggestions for posts that people would like to get my take on. I am very good at sharing my opinion as you all know.

Today is the day!!!!!!

Just wanted to make one more appeal to reason. Today is election day. Get out and vote. That is one of the most important things that you can do as an American citizen. Even better, take a pocket copy of the Constitution with you to read while you wait in line. Then vote what you believe, not what others want you to believe. Don't vote for someone you don't agree with, or vote for someone just to keep another person out of office. Vote what you believe. That is all that is required of us on this magnificent day!!
