DON'T GIVE UP YOUR POWER

Today, November 4, 2008, is the official election date of what will undoubtedly be chronicled as one of the most historical events of American history.

Votes will be cast for the first African American nominee for the office of President of the United States. Of equal notoriety will be ballots cast for the first female candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States.

Your vote is your power. Regardless your choice, do not give up

YOUR VOICE -- YOUR POWER -- YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE

ROCK THE VOTE -- NOVEMBER 4, 2008

I also encourage you to preserve this time in history with your loved ones.

Before sealing our ballots my husband and I took the time to make a video. We spoke of what this election meant to us as well as giving a history of what our parents were denied, what we have lived to see and encouraging those who will view the video to never make light of the power of their vote.

We also have a scrapbook of memorabilia we’ve saved and notes we will write to our children.

Later we will relax at an election night gathering with friends.

These are just some suggestions for what you can do to preserve history in the making. Below I leave you with a visual of an historical man – Barack H. Obama
