AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
Ray Charles
xR:
Yes, and me too!
That why it was so momentous last night.
I was stunned by its testament.
TWO hours and 18 minutes after the polls closed
– I had left the Obama 2012 headquarters
for the last time…waiting for
the trajectory of
our future.
And, last night, Americans
and
Minnesotans
welcomed
more people to
the table.
MINNESOTANS
DEFEATED
TWO
AMENDMENTS
TO OUR
STATE CONSTITUTION:
1.) MARRIAGE AMENDMENT-
MARRIAGE ONLY BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN
MINNESOTANS VOTED NO!
LOVE IS LOVE!
2.) VOTER RESTRICTION–
MINNESOTANS WOULD HAVE TO OBTAIN
A GOVERNMENT VALIDATED
PHOTO ID
TO VOTE
MINNESOTANS VOTED NO!
NO ONE WILL BE DISENFRANCHISED!
Our flag
unfurled a wider
majesty of greater grandeur
and
more
golden fields.
Excellent.

All shapes
A wide arc,
a luminous
rainbow,
embracing
quiet swaths
of
nuance
and
subtlety.
GRACE.
HUMANITY IS LOVE/LOVE IS HUMANITY
THE VALUE OF HUMANITY
CANNOT BE MEASURED
ON A LEDGER.
HUMANITY YEARNS
FOR THE
FREEDOM
OF
TRUTH’S EXPRESSION.
The content of one’s character rose.
Once again integrity, perseverance, humanity prevails.
GRACE.
As one elderly woman,
living in the suburbs,
told me on the phone last night
while I was making the last rushed calls
from St. Paul’s
Obama/Biden headquarters:
Yes,
I voted for my hero,
OUR
President Barack Obama!
Another call to an elderly voter in response
to the MARRIAGE AMENDMENT stated:
” No one chooses who they will be
when they are born.
They are born who they are meant to be!
My husband and I would want anyone
who loves another to be able to watch over
their loved one
and
marry them if they choose to!
Of course, we decided we will
VOTE NO
to the marriage amendment.
Everyone deserves to live their life with their beloved.”
BRAVO!
GOD BLESS
ALL
AMERICA!
Today is a re-definition
of
radiance,
hope,
GRACE,
telling the truth,
and
dreams
do
come
true.
