Vote for the underdog, the voiceless, the worker bee, the laid off, the laid up, the one who doesn’t have a chance, the one who comes from behind, the chronic loser, the underestimated, the quiet one, the last in line, the hopeless, the helpless, the unfamous, the one who can’t afford a doctor, the can’t-get-a-grip dreamer, the immigrant, the migrant, the luckless, the unlovable, the lowly, the illiterate, the cynic, the teacher, the cashier, the single mother who cries herself to sleep, the kids who leave for school hungry, the ones who hope against hope. We voted for Obama. We voted for us for a change.


Amén! and Amén and Amén! May we never forget the day we were set free.
