Last night will be a night of rememberance for me and my family! Years to come someone will ask "Where were you when the first African-American President was elected?" I was home watching all the networks on TV with my family. We celebrated President-Elect Obama's victory with a glass of champagne! And Cristian was able to toast with us with a nice cool juice box!!
I feel last night America was in unity and stood up for change and hope. To watch the crowds in Grant Park in Chicago, in Time Square in NYC and in front of the White House in Washington D.C...and how they all erupted with cheers....man...that was awesome!
The tears you saw running down peoples faces...black and white...it made me so proud to be an American. This was a true testimant that anything is possible in America. My son, a Latino, can too be President of the country he was born in - The United States of America - the land where opportinity is still alive and well!! 
I look forward in supporting Barack Obama in the next four years while he is president. This is where the real work begins for him. I look forward to the promise of change and progress he promised the voters. Whether your Democrat or Republican we need to pray for our new President and ask God to guide him in running the greatest country in the world! God Bless our new President and God Bless America!!

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today." - Martin Luther King Aug 28, 1963
