I am voting for the candidate of HOPE and CHANGE - being an African American SENIOR CITIZEN - that is all that I can do - for those that have been told there was no way to obtain their dreams and that it was hopeless look to HILLARY CLINTON as a symbolic figure.
Obama's WORDS of Change - what does it mean - change from the old politics in Washington DC - he receives endorsements from Kennedy and Kerry and many others that are the old politics - he is only a politician himself.
His capital gain tax proposal will only help the rich - not the middle or lower classes - more taxes out of our pocket - so say the economist.
Hillary has proposals for student loans, for health care, for actual tax reductions - see some of her blogs at http://www.hillaryclinton.com -
North Carolina needs to show the rest of the country that my black brothers and sisters and the younger voters will MAKE THE CHANGE - and vote by the heart and conscience and not the color.

According to Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton Biography, "A WOMAN IN CHARGE", she was first introduced to Civil Rights at the age of 15. It was then she attended a Civil Rights Rally by the late great Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr., in 1962. She even met him in person after the rally. While, also, still in high school she was a babysitter for Immigrant Workers , who worked the field. In 1965 she integrated an all white church in Wellesley Massachusetts. It was a stir!!! In 1966, after becoming President of the Wellesley College Student Union she was able to negotiate, with college staff, about increasing the black student enrollments and the black faculty jobs. She was proud to say that the black student population went from 10 to more than 100 in 1969. In 1969 she graduated from Wellesley College and was a Spokesperson at her Graduation. She was then labeled by Life Magazine as on her way to becoming a political meteor. It was also ,about this time, that she was involved in both Civil Rights and Anti Vietnam War Rallys. After Graduation from Wellesley, she had the option of attending Harvard or Yale Law School. Since Harvard didnot support Women Rights, she went to Yale Law School. Today, it still haunts her that she had participated in an on campus rally, and approximately several days later on another campus there was the Kent State Massacre. She could have been one of those fatality. She didnot participate in any Freedom Riders Events because education was her number one priority

Colin Powell made the case against Iraq based upon Military Intelligence, especially Satellite Intelligence, indicating Mobile Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since Iraq was under Sanction and Probation, and the Weapon Inspectors were given the run around by Saddam. Saddam Hussein, bluffed to have Weapons, and pretended to have Weapons of Mass Destruction , because he wouldnot follow the Rules of The International Court. George W. Bush Jr Declared War on Iraq, based upon Weak Intelligence, on his own. Neither Congress nor Hillary Clinton voted for a War ,they voted that Iraq wasnot following the Rules... George W. Bush Jr. ,also, was to finish what his father George H. Bush Sr. started. Hillary Rodham has been against Wars since engaging in Anti- Vietnam War Rallys back in the 60's. Today she has formed a Military Coalition to end the Iraqi War, responsibly, and bring our soldiers home. She also have the Military Backing, and Know How to continue fighting the War On Terror in Afghanistan. This time, under her Administration, our Troops in Afghanistan will have the proper Armor and Equipment to Win The War on Terror.
