OBAMA - WHILE I STILL CAN

OBAMA. He looks like a President to me. He looks like the future. As I've stated before, I'm not much into politics. In the past I voted because people died for me to have the right to be counted. They still are not doing it right, but for now, we have to go with it as is, until a new generation changes how it is done. A politician makes promises "I can get it done." Yeah, right. I take that to mean, I will try to get it done. I realize that the President has power, however he is still only one man. So we need to not only vote for change but make sure to also vote for people who will assist him in trying to change things. It's encouraging to hear that so many people are looking past his skin-tone and seeing him as an American, as a man who is intelligent, and as a man who can be the President of our nation. I fear for the man's life because some have not advanced pass bigotry and outright nastiness. But if he and his family will take the risk, then I will do my part. While I still have the right to -- I will vote.

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
