I called my boy Jon Jo this afternoon, a Social Studies teacher at White Plains High School, to see how he was feeling about everything.  He had been back and forth to Pennsylvania the past three weekends volunteering for Obama.  He sounded anxious and concerned.  There was nothing more he could do, he just had to wait it out.  It’s because of people like him that Obama won this election.  Last night, he sent out this Sam Cooke song “A Change is Gonna Come” in an email to a group of friends which simply said VOTE.  I thought I’d post it in celebration of a new beginning.  Congrats to our new President, Barack Obama…

I’ll be talking to Jon Jo about his grassroots campaign swing state experience this week…nice work my dude…peace…
