It’s probably one of the most historical elections in the history of the United States. I really like what my friend Erin said over here.

And I have to say that a little of my cynicism has washed away. I don’t believe that politics can change all the problems of the United States. I don’t believe that a new president will automatically reform all that is wrong in the world. I don’t believe that a change in party, a change in politicians, a change from conservative to liberal will really make that big of a difference.

But I DO believe that ENGAGEMENT can change everything. If I am engaged in the political process, if my neighbor is engaged in the political process, even if my enemy is involved in the political process, then everything can change.

It’s not about THEM. It’s about US. We can make a difference. Yes we can!

(Do ya’ll hear that? It’s a tiny bit of hope creeping in.)

And I want to send out a shout out to the Proposition K folks in San Francisco. It may not be a win, but it’s a step in the right direction. Like the quote that’s been going around, “Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked so Barack could run. Barack is running so our children can fly.” You have started the process, like Rosa Parks.

I am very proud of all of you who spoke up in favor of Prop K, for the organization that you built, for saying what you believe and saying it loudly. You ROCK!
