While leaving my son’s little league game Saturday, coming down the hill from Lincoln Park I heard someone shout, “Free BBQ for Obama!”

To my pleasant surprise I saw many people in fellowship around the town square in Burnsville, NC. As I stopped to show my support for the cause, I had the opportunity to realize how important change is for our country during these times.

Many people at the rally expressed their sincere hope that Obama will be the man to make these changes. Most importantly, I saw children learning about the voting process and the importance of looking past race and gender and looking for the quality of character. In the small hard working town of Burnsville, NC, this is what I saw.

Please enjoy these pictures because this is proof that change will come.
