What an amazing night!
The Democratic party has finally and officially nominated Senator Barack Obama to be the party's candidate running for President of the United States of America! For the first time ever, in the 232 years ever since this country began, an African-American has been nominated to run for President.
I cannot describe how deeply honored I am to see this historical event happening. It is such an overwhelming and emotional ride. The last three nights have put tears in my eyes as I listen to Michelle Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden speak in the Obama's honor. Though Clinton's & Biden's speeches were mostly what Obama stands for, it was his wife's speech who won the heart of mine.
Her speech described her life as an American, as a child in the US, and as a devoted wife & mother for her family. She described the whole reason to vote for Obama, which pretty much sums up to having equality for all of us here in the US, to be able to achieve the American dream while still having the love of family to warm us and keep us driven. I urge everyone (even those who aren't Americans) to read her speech. It is so moving, so humanistic, so heart-warming. I was in tears only half-way through the speech and by the time she finished, I was bawling my eyes out. What an amazing speech that was!
So now the real work begins. My life from now on will be total chaos as I volunteered to work for Obama's local campaign office. I will be urging young Americans to register to vote, helping them decide their choice to elect (hopefully Obama, but if necessary, McCain), and to keep America open-minded about having a black President. So many people waste so much of their time with rumors, lies, and other so-called truths about Obama that they steer to McCain. Sometimes we get them back, sometimes we don't.
But overall, what an AMAZING week this has been for the Democrats! I cannot wait until tomorrow to watch the Senator accept his speech!
