Transitions

Tomorrow at noon on the Capitol steps Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. While the Presidential Transition ends, our transition as young Americans continues.

We continue the transition from being ignored to being acknowledged as a crucial part of the electorate.

We continue the transition from fighting to make our voices heard in an election to exercising those voices in the process of governance.

We as a generation rose up to declare that we want to change this country for the better: to end those prejudices that are counter to all we believe in and to usher in a new era of national service.

So tomorrow let us celebrate the inauguration of our President, for the day after is time to get to work.
