(BALTIMORE - November 13, 2008) - Congratulations to the United States! Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama! Congratulations to YOU!!!
Our work has just begun. It is up to you and up to me to create, maintain and sustain change. Look inside of you and bring out your talents, experience, imagination and determination to change rebellion into order, groaning into rejoicing and greed into goodness.
It is important for each one of us to use our understanding, knowledge, righteousness, and goodness as the tools to order, joy, stability and rebuilding America’s infrastructure, industry, financial strength and social faith.
Order, joy and stability are the goals that will guide America’s reclamation of the ideals of “freedom and justice for all” and “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for all.
I dedicate this blog entry to my ancestors, grandparents, parents, siblings and nephew.
