I just have to comment on my excitement about the events of this Tuesday, January 20th, 2009, when I will watch as our country swears in Barack Obama, our first black president, and a candidate that I believe in with my whole heart. Tonight, while I sat lazily watching some ridiculous "gameshow" on CBS, a commercial came on advertising Obama's new service campaign website: http://www.usaservice.org/.
I grabbed my laptop immediately and found a website that allows you to easily search for service projects in your area. It also allows you to share these projects with people on facebook, bringing the people in our country (especially our young people) together like no other person has. I can't express my joy... my gratitude...
As a woman who is proud to be from Mississippi, a state that is the poorest in the nation, but gives more to charity each year than ANY other state in the union, I can't wait to cry tears of jubiliation on Tuesday at noon when I can see an event that will live in history books for years to come. When my president (MY PRESIDENT!) will swear in and prepare to make true on the promises of this great nation.
My cup runneth over, people! If you're reading, visit http://www.usaservice.org/.
