In Mississippi! Here We GO!

As I arrived this morning to Memphis,TN I could not believe that I was going to be part of history in the making. As Sarah and I drove up to Ole Miss University, we did not know what to expect. With a smile from cheek to cheek we saw people gather at Grove Square with excitement toward the powerful soul music that was performed by Ole Miss's choir and BSU. 
Watching Ole Miss University    be part of history in the making is great. The students here and the environment is very uplifting and enthusiastic. From place to place people are registering to vote at the Rock the Vote tent. The music is playing and the people are interaction with on another talking about the issues that matter. From McCain supporters to Obama supporters, the Ole Miss college campus is filled with first time voters and even those who cannot yet vote.  They are walking around with stickers, signs, cut out Obama and McCain faces, and just having a great time talking about the issues that matter to the community the most! 

I have had the greatest honor to be able to talk to a lot of great individuals whom when I asked them about both candidates' foriegn policy   the first thing that came up in their minds was the War in Iraq and U.S. Affairs in the Middle East. Students even talked about the stand of the US in our world and its economy and how others view us. It reminded me of the blog I posted weeks ago about How the world sees us and how we as an american community want to be seen. Young teenagers whom are just high school seniors stated that we need to get out of Iraq because it is time to put that money into our economy. They see the relationship between Foreign Policy and our Economy.                                       

                                

Most of the People I spoke to did say that " In this election if you don't Vote Don't Whine!" That is what this election is all about. It is about the opportunities that you bestow being part of the American Society. I will bring you more insights to what is going on after the Debate!
