Election Day!

Of course, I am immersed in election coverage, so instead of a "real" post, I will cyber-publish some of my favorite campaign quotes. In 2012, remind me to save "the good ones" into a Quote Folder so I can refer back to them when I feel obligated to blog, but am void of articulation.

"That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody's son. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted -- or at least, most of the time."
Barack Obama 2004 Democratic Convention

Bonnie A., Miami, FL

Maya Angelou

Their grandmother told me, "Our young men have waited a long time to have someone to look up to, to make them believe Dr. King's words can be true for them." Jan. 21, 2008."
