"Man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond the human being."

I am writing this so that I may save it. So that I may say that I was there, the night before Election Day of 2008, the night before everything changed.

I won't take the time to write about politics, because that is over. I won't take the time to write about the candidates, the issues, or anything else that this campaign season is about. You're tired of hearing it, I'm tired of talking about it.

What I will say is that I am so incredibly excited to be on the edge of history. I am right in the middle of my country making a change, taking a different path, and transforming into the nation that I know we are. Where we take care of the sick and the needy, we educate our children, we provide an example of greatness to the world, and we can hold our heads high and say that we are a home for freedom and humanity at its finest.

I am ready to be proud of my country. I am ready to listen to believe in our dreams. I am ready to stop being angry and disappointed by the state of my home and my people. I am ready to be proud of my country.

Please, with all of my heart and my soul, I beg each and every one of you to take this final night, look at the issues and vote. I won't tell you who to vote for, but I say that you need to have a hand in this. This is a huge event in our history, and to pass up the chance to have a part in it is sure to be a great regret in the years to come.

Vote, and be proud of it.

I am ready to be proud.

See you guys tomorrow, on the victory lap.
