Since the year I moved to DC I have not felt such passion, such excitement, and invigoration among the community!!!! DC was as the youth of today would say “OFF THE CHAIN” last night!
The District voted 93% for Senator, now President Elect Obama so it wasn’t a surprise when there was shouting, screaming, horns honking, people hanging out of cars, random people hugging, all of these actions that I enjoy but are so rare in Washington.
I spoke to a couple of first time voters- two were students at GW, and one gentlemen was from the District, 30 years old and a first time voter! Two videos below have footage of these great individuals! The night was full of firsts and unforgettable. Every blog will have a different story and I know I will have more stories to share.
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth — that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes We Can.
~PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

How exciting to be a part of it back there.
