"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." These are the beginning words of Barack Obama’s famous speech on race in America. “It is where we start. It is where our union grows stronger. And as so many generations have come to realize over the course of the two-hundred and twenty one years since a band of patriots signed that document in Philadelphia, that is where the perfection begins.” Today, local Cambridge resident, youth community activist and student Drew King shares his thoughts on a more perfect union in America.

2008 marks 90 years since the Representation of the People Act finally gave some women the right to vote. It is also 80 years since women won the right to vote on equal terms with men, and the start of democratic representation as we know it today. "From the first moment a woman dared to speak that hope - dared to believe that the American Dream was meant for her too - ordinary women have taken on extraordinary odds to give their daughters the chance for something else; for a life more equal, more free, and filled with more opportunity than they ever had. In so many ways we have succeeded, but in so many areas we have much work left to do.” ~ Presidential Candidate Barack Obama. Women in America should know that he is firmly committed to empowering them and giving resources they need to succeed in a world that expects more and more from them every day.

America is ready for the change we need. On a warm evening in Denver, 45 years to the day since Martin Luther King delivered his I Have A Dream speech, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination before a crowd of almost 80,000 people, telling them: "America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done." And yet despite the drama of the occasion - the vast stadium in which he delivered the speech, the firework display, the elated and weeping onlookers - Obama's task was to talk policy: to demonstrate that there was substance behind the rhetoric. This is a post - DNC 2008 discussion with a local Boston professor and former Google young professional.
