Words I thought I would never say.  I watched the Democratic National Convention for the past 4 days.  As I would have loved Hillary to take the podium tonight, I must admit, I am so pleased with Obama as our Candidate.  
Hearing the words, the endorsements, the analysts, I just thought, "WOW, this is really happening.  A black man is going to take the ticket to the final vote.  We as a country did this, we made this happen, we are coming together to create change!"  
Tears were in my eyes, so many people, their faces transfixed on this man, a man who is promising hope, dreams and change.  This country needs to improve and yes, we will bring "Change to Washington".  
For the first time ever, I can honestly say "I am proud to be an American".  It was clear on why I was never proud before, because in my lifetime, I never felt the grassroots movements make it to the hill.  Tonight, I see the people going to the hill and the hill being forever changed. 
THANK YOU!
