For eight years this country has been fighting a losing battle with an administration that claimed that it was 'for the people'. We've seen loved ones sent off to a war that was pointless, lost jobs because the economy can't support us, and struggled to make enough money to pay for our children to have clothes and food. Its finally time for a change....
Last night, as a combined nation, we took a huge step towards that change. We voted in a man that can make it all happen. WE did.... We as in AMERICANS!!
There was a time when we used to call ourselves 'The UNITED States of America', where we would stand together to fight a battle so that we could show the rest of the world just how tough we are; we stopped doing that for fear of being labled a 'traitor to the cause'. Today though, I feel like I can stand up for my beliefs without the fear of the whole government crashing down on me.
As much as it might scare me to think of a future with a man that we really didn't know anything about to begin with, I can say now that after a year of listening to his debates and seeing what he stands for I'm ready to see what he can do for this country. If he can right the wrongs of our previous occupants of the White House then I think all of America will finally see that he is for the unity of our nation.
