Letters to Finley: Election Day




Obama was president on the day you were born.  He was the first African American President of the United States.  He represents change, progress and a renewed sense of hope. He stands for the people and by the people, all people.  You were born on an election year. And today the country had a decision to make, the choice was to standby the message of change and hope or try something new.  Your dad and I followed the candidates very closely, there are a lot of issues, there are a lot of ideas and opinions, and it can get pretty complicated and confusing.  We listened, we learned, and we went with what we felt is best for all, not just ourselves. We stood on the side of love. We believe in acting unselfishly and helping those who need it most.  We believe in equality for all and we believe you should always “leave it better than you found it” and that is why we waited with you in the cold and rain early this morning for over an hour to support Obama.  Obama was the president when you were born and I happy to say he still is.
