Twas the Night Before

Twas the Night Before November 4, 2008, the date we have known for what seems like forever will be an historic election.  If you need a reminder of what we are about, we Americans, just turn to CNN and watch world news; there is no other country like ours, never has been.  We are unique; we are special; we are the crucible of democracy and that never has been clearer than this cycle.  Our entire history has been one of striving for the best of human nature while fighting against those things which show us at our worst.  So, tomorrow when you take yourself to your polling place, whether it is to vote, or vote protect, steal a moment to take in the majesty of what you are privileged to do. . . . AND, then cast the vote that you in your heart and head discern best will protect our past successes and lead to our brighter future; a future which will restore us to that shining city on the hill, the guide to the world.  This has been a long, powerful, emotional, memorable, difficult season.  Have faith; have heart; have hope.  God Bless America, and each and every one of you with whom I have been honored  to trod this path.  And, for me, I especially will remember that Hillary Sent Me to Send Bruce to Washington.  He needs every one of you to give him your vote.  We did Work Harder, and we did good in the process, don't you think?  Always, Olivia Anne
