Jasper, yesterday was a momentous day of epic proportions. The country came out to vote in huge numbers (close to 100 million people). It was a close election but Barack Obama prevailed 52% to 46% over John McCain and the country seemed to erupt in celebration, gratitude, hope, and relief. I cried myself this morning finally soaking in the real impact of this moment.
Your mother and I had a fun election day holding signs up with many others in the center of Portsmouth, NH encouraging people to get out and vote for Obama. Later, we went door to door making sure registered voters had voted.
We did it because we think so highly of Obama and what he takes a stand for, including your future, your education, your health, the environment, and how the US is in the world. I hope this moment of celebration can translate into real progress for this country and your future.
I hope this day remains one of the most historic days for us. Here is Obama's acceptance speech for you to enjoy one day down the road: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/stateupdates/gGxLhV Love, Dad!
