beyond the party.

there are parts of us that will always remain loyal to the things we know, the people we know. everything we know, is everything we trust. tonight, everything and everyone we trust was asked to be expanded. our minds were asked to expand, just as our dreams and aspirations need to expand.

tonight, i feel we took a step forward. i feel that lowering the cost for me to go to a four year university is going to help me succeed in life. i feel that eliminating my debt that occurred while getting an education after 10 years will help me succeed in life. if not for me, for my brothers. if not for them, for their children.

tonight, i feel we took a step forward, because we can no longer rely on fuel from the ground. we need to rely on fuel that doesn't choke us, that doesn't deplete our ozone. go ride a bike in the summer. bask in the sun and get outside. buy a blanket instead of turning up the thermostat.

basically, our nation needs change, and understanding, and blending. we need to get rid of the party lines, or simply erase them, because no matter if someone is blue or red or black or white, we all have to live here together. coming up with ideas together is going to help all of us.
