The time has come..

I want to express to each of that I respect that everyone is our group has different political views and ask that you respect eachother as your blog about your thoughts following the most incredible presidential campaign our country has seen in a long time.

Now is a time for reconciliation and hope for our country. It is time that we work TOGETHER to better ourselves and our country. So although i want to encourage you to speak HONESTLY and CANDIDLY about your feelings i was to urge you to respect and love one anothers beliefs and feelings.

Many of you are celebrating the historical election of President Barack Obama and if you've been involved in his campaign you should be proud of yourselves for the selfless work you have done.

Many of you are mourning John McCain's loss, and you have the right to do so, but should feel PROUD to have supported an American Hero who loves this country and who has graciously conceeded and asked that we all come together as a now as Americans.

This is not the time (although if you ask me, there never was a time) for blaming, name calling and overall intolerance. This is a time for healing, for solidarity.

I look forward to hearing what you all have to say and look forward to the discussions I'm sure we will have a group.

Please remember we are a family and a community and we should always show (BONNER) love for one another.

I, for one, am hopeful for the future of this country and believe we have all the potential in the world to come together and THRIVE.

Goodnight everyone,
Nicole
