Women blogging about politics.
No matter what...
No matter what...
Today is the first day of a brand new world.
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress approved The Declaration of Independence, severing ties with the British Crown and establishing the United States of America.
In doing so, this new nation declared that all Men are created equal.
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO (232) years later, the grandest acknowledgment of that equality is manifesting. Today, a person of color or a woman will be elected to one of the two highest and most influential offices in the world. What a moment in history and we are not just witnesses, but we are participants.
The news is reporting that this election will record the highest American voter turn out in more than 100 years!!
History is being made.
Tonight, as I close my eyes to sleep, I shall say, "Sleep well, New World, for tomorrow is a Brand New Day!"

Comment by Pamela Lyn on November 4, 2008 at 11:38pm - Penny, now that the election is official. I will go to sleep believing that even though this nation faces enormous challenges that we have just overcome one of our greatest hurdles. We will face the future more united than we have ever been.
