I am a first time voter, I am 25 and I've been absolutely inspired

by Barack Obama and the entire election process this time around.

He has inspired me not through his exceptional ability to speak

publicly but by his message in his speaking. He has inspired me

with the same enthusiasm and determination as JFK did in the 1960's

and I understand that we prosper not by electing the most capable

president but by being a force BEHIND that president. Let me also

state that with the present status of the US and the failures of

the current administration, I stand and say I take responsiblity

for not voicing my opinion in the previous election. Rather then

complain about this administration, I want to be part of the

solution and Obama is my outlet for that solution. "If I must

choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness."
