For those of us who have suffered through the Bush presidency, it is almost over. The blatent abuse of power, the disdain for ordinary people, the greed, the mutilation of the Constitution, will leave scars that will not disappear on 01.20.09. It will take years to heal our economy and revive the Constitution. We can begin tomorrow. Hope everyone has voted or will vote tomorrow. It will be one of the largest, if not the largest, number of AMERICANS to turn out to vote. Everyone who shows up must get the opportunity to vote and everyone of us must demand that this happen.
I will be in Siler City at one of the polls handing out sample ballots. If you watched enough Andy Griffith Shows you may remember that they often went to or talked about Siler City.
This has been the most exciting and inspirational election that I have ever lived through. Those who know me well know that I always get excited every 4 years...but there has never been anything to rival this. It is ironic that this is the election that I wasn't teaching.
