For a Better America!

I am elated! I’m sure that those that travel can attest to the disheartening feeling of telling someone you are from America only waiting for political attacks or utter embarrassment, one may come first, but both do come.

Take a moment to truly think about this monumental occasion that has escaped us for centuries. As a country we saw through color. It was only just years ago—within our lifetimes (not quite mine)—that Martin Luther King died for equality of all citizens and today as an entire people we see beyond color and cast our votes for a united country.

Recall also our Declaration of Independence which states “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness.” Fifty-four men hailed for equality on July 4, 1776 and over two centuries later our country regains those dreams, the dreams and beliefs 54 men held for a better America.

I predict we will see cooperation that has evaded us. This may very well be the turning point in political particism and the coming together of the people for the people.
For a better America!
