Yes. I am moved.
This presidency is not about race and do not let them tell you otherwise. This presidency is much bigger. Last night's speech reminds us of that responsibility.
Were you listening? Are you willing to become an agent of change? I asked my roommate if her phones were ringing off the hook with people willing to donate time to help. The answer, no. Not one new mentor? Not one.
Did we listen? Let us not drop the ball, here.
Please. Serve. One hour, one smile, or one can of soup. In some way, please help.
For those of you that promised me your vote in 2016, I thank you for lending that promise to Barack Obama. I love you all, good night.
"And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand." Barack Obama Nov. 4, 2008
