WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES SAID
YES WE CAN . . .use our collective wills and effort to express our Love to each other and our Hope for a better day.
In the Bronx, residents riding on city buses, shouted out of windows, and cars honked their horns in celebration while small children slept in their beds and firecrackers sparked in the dark.
In Harlem, multitudes of strangers gathered together, cried and hugged each other as the news was announced of the new President-elect.
At Rockefeller Center and in Times Square, throngs of people stood together, their flags swayed in the light autumn breeze while smiles etched their faces and eyes bubbled over with tears of joy.
We know that the road ahead will be perilous and hard. Yet, in my heart and the hearts of many of us, there now exists the possibility that people of all colors can imagine peace and erect a fresh union.
Tonight, I wish Barack Obama ,Courage, Fortitude, Divine Inspiration and Godspeed and welcome him as the new President-elect of the USA..

It’s an amazing day to be in the US. We Australians are an apathetic bunch and I could never imagine us ever being as engaged and involved as so many people are in the US at the moment …
Sassafras replied
Peter, thank you for coming by and for your insightful response. When a people are pushed to the wall and there seems nowhere to go and no damn body is listening, then you go the plan B and vote. Also, when people feel that they are being heard, they feel less isolated and will join together with each other and a new force can be formed. Please wish us luck…the road ahead will be filled with potholes and mud.
Walk in peace,
Sass

Let this be the end of 400+ years of hypocracy. How long it has been since the people of this country could look up to our President. Do not stop the momentum. Take the power people it is yours. Tonight is proof… Sam Dantone
Sassafras replied
