Change we can believe in

If there is one thing today that the USA can be commended for it is the democratic electoral process that it pursues. Granted that it is not as smooth and transparent as one would wish we have still witnessed a long and significant journey that has led to the cross-roads of my generation.


It is a journey that has seen the rise of a new and formidable movement of hope and change; of a world that can be built upon solidarity, freedom and the progressive ideal. It is a movement that destroys the divide based on race and religion and sexual orientations. It is a movement that holds mankind to be equal wherein the weak are given all the incentives to prosper and the strong are willing to help out whilst remaining fundamentally strong. It is a movement that holds diplomacy and peace to be far stronger than the thunderous roar of destructive warfare. It is a movement that is willing to jointly work for a better future together with peoples who do not necessarily agree with it. It is a movement that realizes the fundamental significance of safeguarding our environment and battles its ruin and exploitation. It is a movement that pursues civil rights with vigor including the fundamental right to affordable healthcare and education for all.


It has also been a journey that has seen a call for the maintenance of the status-quo; the maintenance of warfare; the maintenance of divide and inequality; the maintenance of corporate greed; the maintenance of fear mongering and fact twisting; the maintenance of robbing earth of its wealth and its people of their dignity; the maintenance of ignorance and robbing people of their political, economic and social power in pursuance of undignified totalitarian power; the maintenance of robbing people of inalienable human and civil rights. It is a call that fears change and champions conservatism and disparaging traditional principles in the name of patriotism and nationalism.


Today the world has come to the cross-roads of its future. Americans have been given the choice to continue pursuing the decline and destruction of our earth. They have also seen the bold vision of a man which has shown us that hope still exists for a brighter future and which has instilled us with a sense of change that we can believe in.


America, it's time for the world to change. Vote for hope, vote for change, vote for freedom, vote for equality, vote for justice, vote for human and civil rights, vote for economic and social prosperity, vote for peace and diplomacy, vote for a better environment. Vote for Barack Obama.
