This Is Our Moment

"On Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, Barack Obama of Illinois was elected the first black president of the United States of America."

That's what history books will say. But we all know, that's not really what happened. It was much, much more than that. It was America standing up to the past eight years, coming together with a willingness to fix what was broken. It was all of us, dreaming of a better tommorow as we filled in our little bubbles or punched a hole next to Barack Obama's name.
But the history books will forget that part. They'll forget us. They'll forget what this election meant to those of us who made it happen. They won't remember our part in making a better tommorow.
Let's tell that better tomorrow what our dreams are. We did this for them, let's make sure they know why. Schoolchildren of the future will have to memorize lines like, "Yes We Can" and "This is Our Moment". Let's make sure they know what those words did to us.

That's what this site is for. Write a letter to the future, to your children or grandchildren, to the generations who will come after us. Let them know what this journey has meant to you, and what you hope it will mean to them.
The success of this site depends on you. If enough people write letters to the future and share their hopes with YesWeCanVoices.com, I will see about collecting them into a book, which you can give to your children or grandchildren, so that they will know what you felt about this moment. They will know what we all felt.
