“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” —John F. Kennedy
“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.” —Thomas Jefferson
“Change is inevitable. Because it is driven by expanding knowledge and technology, it is accelerating at a speed never seen before. Your job is to be a master of change rather than a victim of change.” —Brian Tracy
“If you have always done it that way, it is probably wrong.” —Charles Kettering
After 219 years and 43 United States presidents, there is a strong possibility that 2008 will go down in history with the the 44th president being the first African American or woman elected.
The word change has been used by all of the presidential candidates…however, only two truly represent change, and perhaps one more than the other.
Hillary Clinton represents change because she is a woman. However, her family and the Bush family have dominated the White house for the last twenty years! I don’t see how having her as president would equate to any real change. Hillary would make history as being the first female president but would the American people would get more of the same by electing her? Would it really be about her and Bill picking up where they left off?
When I think of change in America I think of new leadership… a fresh face in the White House with new ideas and a fresh perspective to lead the United States in a new direction. To affect change in this country we need a president that not only embraces change fearlessly but is the embodiment of change. Is having Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States change we can believe in?
Happy Super Tuesday! Get Out and Vote!
Here are a few details and rules that will help make the voting process run smoothly. Make sure to share these with your friends:
- Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to at least 8:00 p.m. Anyone in line at the time the polls close is allowed to vote.
- Voters have the right to cast a provisional ballot even if their name is not listed on the voting rolls. If a voter is at the wrong polling location and has time to get to the correct polling location before polls close at 8:00 p.m., they should go to the correct one and vote with a regular ballot instead of voting with a provisional ballot at the wrong location.
- If you declined to select a political party when you registered to vote, you can still vote for Barack Obama if you request a Democratic ballot from the poll worker. Make sure you mark “Democratic” in the appropriate space or the vote might not be counted.
- Voters have the right to return a completed vote-by-mail ballot to any precinct in their county.
