I went to vote at 7:30a. I did not come out of the voting place until 9:15a. I have never seen a long line at my voting place. It was a very proud moment. I had a beautiful conversation with an older gentlemen and several young ladies. This election woke up the people up. The unprecedented line I saw in my neighborhood renewed my faith in community. I think people are now seeing we have a common goal to see our city, region, state, and nation grow stronger educationally, economically, etc.

Rest assured readers the fire will not be quenced after this election. I have been moved to become more active in the community, even in politics. Prince Herbert Harrison of Gary, Indiana was a speaker for one of the mayors and was known in the political realm, although he was not a politician himself. As the city of Detroit is in political upheaval this is a great time to get involved. We, the people, need to get up build up our own community.

STOP BLAMING THE POLITICIANS THAT YOU LET RUN FREE BY NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM!
