This is something I want to start and really push for the next two months. I am reading Davey D’s blog and watching CNN at the same time. I saw a poll posted saying that Obama was ahead by one percentage point. I think that is completely inaccurate. This as grassroots as it comes, for whoever visits this blog spread the word, tell everybody you know basically 18-35 to Vote!! Don’t just tell them ‘hey vote Obama’ but if they’re not up on him inform them. I feel like our voices need to be heard! This country has ignored as voices, dismissed the youth and young adults when are literally the future. This is the important election of our lives up till this point.
It’s important because this election is based off symbolism. It’s not just about Obama winning but the symbolism he represents. He is one person and it is up to us the people, the youth to make whatever we want happen. We are not involved in the discussions, polled, etc. We are the invisible voting block. Our voices can shape this election 100% It’s looked at as ‘oh, Obama has the youth’ and Yes he does we need to show the establishment what that truly means. If you’re not registered please register, tell people to register. People we’re energized in ‘04′ and four years later that energy has overflowed and touched everyone. We have the power to show the world our country is truly changing and is in line with the rest of the world. That people of color matter, to quote Frederick Douglass “Power never concedes anything without a demand. It never has and it never will.”
November 4, 2008 show up and let our voices be heard
