Many people believe that THIS election will go down as one of the most controversial. Yes. That is obviously true. But, THIS election is much more than controversial--its going to go down in history as our nation will see its first African American president. Now, I now I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but honestly, who else is better to run this country? Hillary Clinton? I'm not even going to answer that. I won't even waste my time talking about her. I believe that Barack Obama has what it takes to change this country. He can and will make a difference.
With this year being as important as it is, I became incredibly excited to be voting, but, only to find out that I miss the mark by a little under a month. My birthday is in December, and I now feel like the wind was kicked out of me. THIS election is going to be massive, and my voice won't get heard. But, that's when I got the brilliant idea to go and stop by the Obama Headquarters by our courthouse. I went in and asked if they had any pins, bumper stickers, etc.
They told me that they are out of everything except pins, so i stocked up on those and was like, well, I'll come back for shirts and bumper stickers. As I walked out the door I stopped and said: "Ya know, I'm not going to be able to vote in this election, but this is one I feel very strongly about, and I want my voice to be heard. Any suggestions?" I was kind of laughing because I was frustrated and the man asked me to help them campaign. So, I signed up and told them what I'd be willing to do and they'll call me whenever they need help.
I am more than excited to be able to help out. Now I am not so blue about the lack of me voting. My opinion is going to make an impact on someone who can vote, and that's all that matters. I just don't want to let this election pass and not have done anything to help out. Years from now, this could be remembered as one of the biggest elections, and I want my voice to be heard--and now it will be. Also, I found this video that Will.i.am made that is basically Barack Obama's (my favorite of his) speech: "Yes we can." Enjoy.
VOTE!
