DU reports from the Democratic National Convention, August 25-28 2008
Posted by Ava in General Discussion: Presidential (Through Nov 2009)

I just got home from the airport. It was a long day of travel to get back across the country to 'Bama, but I'm still fired up and excited about last night. The whole night was awesome, inspiring, and amazing. I think what really was great for me as a young person was to see all the other politically active young people there. Many in the crowd were first time voters, and by the time the night was over all were fired up and ready to hit the streets for the campaign.

That seemed to be the common attitude of everyone leaving today - at the hotel, the airport, the other airport, and the resturaunt we stopped at on the way home. Obama shirts, buttons, and hats were everywhere. I'd talk to people with them and they all said the same thing - they were ready to do what they can to help get Obama elected. I know I'm not the only person home from Denver that feels ready to go, and who feels like change isn't just possible, it's coming soon. Yes We Can!

So to those of you who were there and those who joined in through the internet, radio, and tv.. don't let the inspiration of this week go to waste. Do what you can to get Obama elected. Hit the streets with information about the campaign. Make sure your friends are signed up to vote. Make sure they're able to get to the polls on election day. Most of all, make sure you cast a vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. History was made Thursday night, but with our help even more history will be made come November. Yes We Can!
