Today is the day! Thank you, all of you who stand in line, record your vote and persist in your citizenship duties! Today many fellow citizens will overcome obtacles, miss work and spend the day in lines that wrap around city blocks in order to uphold their end of the social compact. Thank you for you patience, thank you for your sore feet and tired backs. Thank you for your children waiting with you for long hours. Thank you for resisting the efforts to cheapen our franchise and suppress our political power. Thank you for taking responsibility for our nation’s character and direction. This is our chance, our moment. We can make it happen. Today.
