Out of a hard-fought battle that has turned a nation mired down in the status quo into a people demanding change; that has brought the most unlikely folks together for a common good; that has changed our culture of indifference into one of enthusiasm and movement and HOPE ... the time is now upon us. And I am proud – truly, honestly, sincerely proud – to be a part of this movement, this stirring deep inside our country, this atmosphere abuzz with the anticipation of better days to come. This thing that we call hope.
"We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change ... We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics – they will only grow louder and more dissonant ... We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope."
Whether you've seen this video once or 100 times, I say watch it again. Watch, listen and realize that we are right smack dab in the middle of a most significant moment in our nation's history ... a time when one man and his vision have brought a nation of people together in the name of change. We are on the cusp of a new day, folks, and I am damn proud of where we're headed!
Oh, and if you happen to live near a Ben & Jerry's, you can get a free scoop from 5-8 p.m. tomorrow! What a beautiful country we live in :)
