Yes. We. Can.

[proud2BlibKansan]

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.

2. "They will only grow louder, and more dissonant"

This line alone has carried me through, and will continue to carry me through the next 17 days.

Yes, We Can!

4. Just watched the video for the thousandth time

and realized how beautiful the words are just by themselves. And we can use a positive spark to carry us through the next 17 days.

3. Right there with you.

5. This is the antidote to the ignorance and hatred.

This is the antidote to false claims spewed by hate-filled people like Michelle Bachmann that Obama is somehow "anti-American."

For these words and this man carry within them the very spirit of America.

Thank you for this. I needed this tonight.
