Mommy took me to the polls with her this morning at 9:30 AM to cast her vote for Barack Obama. Daddy plans to go tonight around 5:30 PM when he gets home early from work.
Mommy and I stood in line with about three to five hundred others including our neighbor Arvette and her 2 year old son Kadin. Arvette was very nice and arrived there ten minutes before us and saved us a space in line. The line wrapped around a city block and the weather was about 55 degrees with overcast skies. There was a Forecast of Showers, but Mommy didn't care. She threw on a hat and dressed in a white sweater with blue jeans to commemorate the occasion. She also dressed me in a "political onesie" compliments of my Aunt Antasia that read Future President. I managed to stay awake the entire 80 minutes we were outside, but fell asleep as soon as we entered the Voting Station where Mommy cast her Electronic ballot and continued to take pictures of me while I was sleeping next to these signs.
The group of people gathered seemed to be very unified in their choice for Obama and Mommy even saw a few people with tears of joy streaming down their faces. "We are making History" seemed to be the most popular phrase proclaimed by most of the people there. I look forward to reading about Today, November 4th, 2008 one day in my History Books at school. Until then, I hope you get out there and Vote Today!
