Today Ushers in A New Mentality, A New Hope

As I sit watching the Barack Obama Inauguration and think about what this means, I see a country united in the hope that we will see a better day. A day where we do not have to worry about if the people are being listened to, a day that we do not have to worry about continuing the divisive social and political squabbling that have become the norm over the past eight years.

It is clear that America hopes for a new day, it is clear that the future politicians, leaders, workers and citizens want a new day. People from my generation want change, we are looking for someone who inspires us and has the faith in the American people to do the right thing. We are looking for someone who is not an isolationist but does focus on our own country's internal needs more often than the previous administration.

We are ready to take on the leadership roles in this country and this election forever changes how the young vote is going to be perceived in this country.
