The Fierce Urgency Of Now

WOOO HOOO!!!!

On this 20th day of January in the year 2009, it must be noted that the collective efforts of generations of people have led to the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America.

Let us be thankful and enjoy this moment. Let us reflect on those that have come before us. Let us pay homage to those who have fallen on this journey. Let us raise our hands and applaud President Barack Obama, for the flawless campaign he ran, for the tireless efforts over two years on the road, and for the personal and family sacrifices he has and will make in the coming years.

For once America has done the right thing. For a change we have chosen the most qualified person to represent and lead us forward.

On CNN yesterday they had Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech-writer, who penned his famous "I have a Dream" speech. In the interview, he pointed out that President Barack Obama's invocation of the need to act now, echoes King's word.

You see yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not guaranteed, all we have is the present.
All we have is now. Our actions today are what dictate our tomorrow. It is this
fierce urgency of now, that moves us forward.

So as we revel in this historic day, and while the financial markets continue to falter, and while unemployment continues to climb, and as more people lose their savings and home, let us act now to stem the loses.

Let us act now to achieve the change we want. Let us act now, to follow up these events. Let us act now to assist President Obama in realizing all that he has laid out.

As someone recently put it, "Change is not something you get, it's something you work towards."

Let us act now, to achieve the change we seek.
