I too, after listening to this video, am sitting here in tears. Unlike Melissa however, I am a white woman. I grew up with a step-father who filled our home with prejudice and anger and fear of anything that did not meet with his approval, which was most of the world. I now know that was all he knew. He came from a mindset that offered no other way to view the world, or sadly any hope to see beyond those beliefs. I was somehow blessed with NOT believing his views on life and this world. Yet, it is now 47 years later and I find it heart wrenching that to this day in our country many are still tied to divisiveness and hate and anger. Not really surprising when you consider we have a fear based government that loves war, pervasive television programming full of violence and hate and a media that spreads it all like a plague. It's everywhere, being instilled and taught. The "movement" that has been created with the Obama campaign is one of yearning. A deep seated yearning for a better way to live in America. As Obama says, "the time is now". So many that have never had something to hope for or have never seen a light at the end of the tunnel are suddenly realizing the chance for a better way to live and experience and just be is before us. Those of us who know, are speaking out for perhaps the first time in years, as we too feel the "wave" of HOPE and know it needs our support. The miracle is that a little known man from Illinois has come into our lives and offers us exactly that. The audacity of HOPE. The belief, desire and trust that there is a better way. Thank you for your work and efforts to bring that about for America. As a mother and grandmother the tears are also that America realizes what the Hopi have said, "We ARE the ones we have been waiting for". The time really is now, to change not just America but this world in which we live and will be leaving to our children and those that will follow.
