The first black president of the USA




chiffon --

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone including you gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack



This was the email that was sent to me and i will save it for years to come. I was speechless last night because not only did we make history but I was there to witness it even though the tickets were way expensive it was money well spent in my opinion. I live in a all white community and I believe my family are the only blacks in the town with saying that my high school was mostly the same and As I checked my Myspace and Facebook page today and saw how prejudice still exist and I really couldn't believe it! It's 2008 almost 2009 you would think the world has change but unfortunately you can't change some people, but weather they like it or not Barack H. Obama is the president of the United States as of January 20, 2009 and I'm stoked actually me and my family are planing our trip already to Washington, DC to witness him walking in and I cant wait!
