A new hope...

Hello Blogging World,
After yesterday's post I was slightly disheartened. It worried me that such an important election could be swayed by one single issue. I discussed it with some of my Catholic friends on campus, and they just waved it off saying these are the types of people that give Catholics a bad name and these people have a minority opinion. However, I don't think they understood the impact of these people. They are just as ignorant to believe that there is only a minority out there blind to the many facets of this election. With early voting already taking place, so many people are choosing candidates based on a single issue, a single characteristic of the candidate, or even simply the candidate's choice for VP. Many immediate issues are tearing down America as we speak, but people are choosing to focus on issues that I am going to call irrelevant to society as a whole. America has no immediate need for the pro-life agenda. America doesn't need someone in power simply because they are white, black, male, or female. America doesn't need someone because they are young or old. America needs help in so many other ways. America needs someone who isn't afraid to change our country. America needs someone who we feel is competent and qualified. America needs someone who is just as frustrated with our current administration as the American people. America needs someone to look out for the majority not the elite. A friend of mine has introduced me to a group of people who have renewed my hope in America. These people are Christians who are supporting Obama. In looking at this website, I am relieved to see that there are still people out there looking at every aspect of the election. They are able to hold true to their faiths, but not be blinded by what they are told to believe. These are the type of people that are given information and process it to make an intelligent decision. They are sharing their views with the world without alienating anyone. They are being American in every sense of the word. Thank you.
