I wish I were home.

No, not because I'm feeling homesick.

But because I am missing out on the revolutions that are happening in my nation. Something is happening, something so great, and I'm not there to be a part of it. Something called change, and all I can do is watch from across the pond.

I've never been really into politics, never into any of that jazz. But I feel completely inspired now, and I am not afraid to admit that I am completely devoted to one side. Completely devoted to change, and, for once, I seriously think it can happen.

On March 16, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy declared his candidacy for President. Against many great odds and the words of cynics, he championed change amidst the turmoil and gave hope to a nation desparately in need of it.

And then, as quickly as he appeared a beacon of light, RFK was gone, and so were the dreams of many, eliminated were the possibilities of change.

It may be the bit of idealist in me, but I feel like those possibilites have returned. I feel like there is one man who can pave the way towards freedom and change and hope and love and responsibility and respect.

Barack Obama is here, and he isn't going away. And I only wish I were at home right now to feel the passion and to voice my opinion and to assure that OBAMA is the candidate who changes this country in 2008.

We know the battle ahead will be long.
But always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way-
Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices
CALLING FOR CHANGE.


In the unlikely story that is America
There has never been anything false about our HOPE.


I want change.


Together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story,


From sea to shining sea, YES WE CAN.
