Barack and Hope

I'd prefer not to think of the Democratic National Convention as a mere pep rally, but an actual symbol of hope that we all have, and that Barack promises to deliver.

I don't think I've ever heard a speech that addressed so many women's issues, that wasn't given by a woman. And I am grateful for the impact that Hillary has had and will continue to have as our champion and representative.

The combination of Barack and Joe, and not to mention a strong woman like Michelle, is really the change we need. And I don't say this as a plug, or a one-liner. This is way more than superficial. I mean this as a domestic violence survivor still caught in the struggle, a woman of color, a single parent in poverty, and public service worker still finding the courage to move forward.
