Posted By: chioma adaku-griffin on July 24, 2008 Newport News, VA----Your vote is your voice; so, don't allow others to speak for you. According to San Francisco Chronicle, in 2000, black people were disfranchised voters and over 1.9 million votes were displaced; and Wikipedia online encyclopedia stated that in 2004 over 9 million votes were displaced. Now that we have a qualified and viable candidate, we as a nation of people are finally in a position to develop democracy in United States of America. Realistically speaking, when he wins, he will not change America over night; there will not be a "Black" house or increased subsidized programs. We have the potential of creating solidarity lost with Countries we have caused distrust with while building a reliable foreign affairs policy; we have the potential to regain nobility, restore hope, and revitalize consciousness for a better world-view. The choice for you to vote thereby becomes a demand and a substantial effort to those who seeking a way out of the disillusions and propaganda that the media has fed the general public. As we give homage to our ancestors, we shall cast our vote in confidence and submit to the legacy of maintaining culture and democracy. On November 4, 2008, the world will look at the election as revolution; bliss of political ecstasy and you have the opportunity to partake in your own personal appointment with change in America. The importance of your vote is your voice of logic and reason that will help determine the destiny of this country.
