A Vision for Our Country, For the World

For months I have been working full time for the Obama Campaign for Change in the Gainesville,GA office. I have been giving the campaign "more than full time". The rewards have been incredible. I have lived in Gainesville for 31 years, and I am just now learning about my community...and most importantly, it's people. My path has been crossed, and my heart invaded by people who I would never have known if not for Senator Obama's Campaign for Change. The vision for our country must be one of hope and prosperity and equality...and we must work hard to have this become a reality.
The volunteers of the Campaign for Change are doing this one person, one relationship at a time. Many of us have never worked on a political campaign before, but after this experience, we are determined to keep working for the betterment of our community, society, our country and the world at large...no matter the outcome of this election.
I took this picture at a campaign fuction at our office this past Saturday (October 25). ("A picture is worth a 1000 words";" A picture confers importance.")To me, this picture shows the vision and possibilities for our society and our country...most importantly, our world. The future is in our children...but the future is also with us...at 62, the future is with me...the future is NOW!
