While I have made no secret of my feelings as they relate to the current candidates for the top office, I thought I would take a moment to say that this process tomorrow that we celebrate by exercising our right to vote continues the unbroken line of our over 200 year history. You and I and everyone else by voting, validate all those that came before us and the ideals they stood for, and all those peoples that sought this nations dreams on whos shoulders we stand upon. Black, white ,brown, people's of all color make up the very fabric of red white and blue and by casting our vote we add our voice to that very fabric. It does not matter who you support in this election, you have the right to justly claim a rightful pride in yourself and your family for celebrating this nation and becomming part of it's long history. So when all the campaign signs are swept away, and the stickers faded and this campaign is part of history all of us no matter who the victor can rightfully claim our part in it. While there are winners and losers in every election those are the candidates and not you, you and I are the real winners here. Keep in mind that when you cast that vote you also validate the soldier, sailor, airmen, and marine and the millions of unamed men and women who have given their lives for all of us to claim proudly that on this day we truley have shown what it means to be an American.
When our representatives in General Congress, Assembled, on July 4, 1776, declared "That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent States," the question immediately arose: What do you call the citizens of the newly named United States of America? we call them simply Americans
