America, it's time for a change. Behold our next president, my friends. Find out more about his platform at www.barackobama.com
This man and this campaign are different than the usual politics. I implore even the most hardened cynics to take a look and see why. After the evil empire of George II, it's easy to be jaded about American politics and to feel powerless in the face of the machine that twice installed a man as president, the validity of which is dubious at best.
Remember, this country is a PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY. And a participatory democracy depends upon an educated populace for its success. Even if you're not blown away by Obama, keep doing your homework and find a candidate you can stand behind. WE DECIDE. But if we abstain, or only vote for the lesser of two evils, we are not exercising our rights as citizens in a so-called democracy.
The change begins with you. And me. And every eligible voter. If America is going to posture as "the city on a hill" for freedom and democracy around the world, we'd better start acting like one.
