Time Has Come! Today!

Change in America! Read again the election night speech by Barack Obama and BELIEVE:

 

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

 

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

 

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled ... Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

 

It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day."

This could be the end of 8 long years I have spent in social and political action online to help change happen. This image is a compilation of a number of important photos I have posted on flickr.com over the last 3 years, some highly controversial. Links and notes on this image celebrate the new 4 letter word that is most important to me: HOPE. Celebrate, America - The Whole World is Watching!
