Obama's Toots? Your own grandmother? Your kids? Your grandkids? |
|
Who will you be voting for?
Not who you will vote for, but in whose honor (or memory or future) will you be voting for (or did you vote for, if you voted early)?

who invited my father not to return home when he (my father) became a conscientious objector - but who later marched on Washington hand in hand with my father and I to bring an end to the Vietnam war.

He dropped out of school at around age 12 to take care of his mother and siblings when his father was killed. He continued his informal education throughout his life, viewing every person he met as another opportunity to learn, eventually serving as state senator - a title he wore humbly until the day he died (even though he had left the senate years earlier).
