ELECTION REFLECTION

Because of the fact that i have lived through numerous elections over the years & have witnessed the efects on our country afterward, I am hopeful that we will be in for a change for the better

I did not vote for OBama, not because I did not think that he was a good man but because MCains conservative veiws were more in line with my own.
Having gone to College in the South during the 50s I saw a very uneaven society & segregated school system. This was not true of the Cleveland, Ohio school system or other places in the North.
Wm Jennings Bryan, the College I attended was 700 plus mils from Cleveland, a a very long Greyhound bus ride. I did not own a car at the time.

I remember the culture shock I had when I first saw the white & colored signs for rest rooms along the route. I think this happened once we crossed the border into Kentucky from Ohio.

The 60s of course brought a new awareness with men like the Reverend Martin Luther King, & President Kenedy & his brother Robert who were all assinated by people who did not want to see wrongs righted, & changes made.

I am excited by a movement which has the potential for bringing about a much needed change.
OBama had a catchy phrase that caught on with the people. Yes We Can! I think this is part of the reason many young people were drawn to him. Young people on college campuses were gettiing other young people registered to vote. The effort paid of & there were a lot of votors in that age bracket who went to the polls, many of whom were first time votors.

I think we may possibly see more young people getting involved in government & other typse of public service. President Kennedy brought about a lot of young people volunteering for public service.

We can hope for this change that has been talked about. Let's hope for a change in our economy
I hope that there won't be a change in our moral standards. It doesn't look like there will be a change in the abortion issue with it's liberalized form. We need to pray about this that people will wake up & be aware of how many innocent lives have been lost.
We need to pray for our President for God's wisdom & God's will for us all.
