Yes... we can.

God is said to have given Man free will. The most key part of free will is the ability to hope. To hope for a better tomorrow. Now is the time when we need hope more than ever. The economy is failing, people are losing their jobs, their homes and their faith. Faith in the select few individuals they elected to represent them.

This is what's been hardest on me. That I can see the pain people are enduring everywhere I go. I've never been one to trust politicians. There's never been a reason to. They're the ones who've gotten us into this mess. What we need is someone who is not a politician by definition. What we need is someone who knows the struggle. Who understands it. Someone who has seen it with his own two eyes.

I believe in Barack Obama, not because he's the democratic candidate. But because he understands. He knows the madness. He understands the pain. He understands the chaos. I believe he genuinely wants to change the world. He's not doing it as some pinnacle of achievement. He's not just looking to run the country. He's looking to partner with the world to make it a better place. A better world for us all.

There is a lot of lost hope out there. A lot of people who wake up completely convinced that their voices don't matter. A lot of people who have given up hope that the world can change. It CAN change. For all of us. We need someone who is strong enough to look past the deep pockets. To look past the "powerful" and focus on the meek. Doesn't it say in the bible that "the meek shall inherit the earth?"

It CAN change. WE can change the world. Our voices DO mean something. November 4th is Election Day in this country. We're not just electing our President, we're electing the representative of this country to the rest of the world. It's time there was a change. It's time we regained our hope. We can change the world by electing the one man who understands that this is much bigger than just the country. This is global and only we can do anything about it. Vote for hope. Vote for the future. With Barack Obama, we can change the world.

Yes... we can.
