Since we have officially embarked upon the campaign season, this Wikizine will focus on the presidential campaign. Included will be thoughts, ideas, articles, and updates on what's happening as we get closer to November 08.

The Wikizine is intended to as a political venue with a focus on African-American women voters. It has been said by CNN, ABC, FOX, CBS, and print media as well, that our vote could very well determine not only the Democratic nominee for president - but the President of the UNITED STATES. That is an awesome challenge - but a challenge that we are no doubt up for.

This Wikizine is also a tribute to the African-American women who fought and even died to make our vote count and possible. Like Sojourner said over 100 years ago "Ain't I a Woman?".

much obliged, mr. president! you did us proud!

I'd almost forgotten what its like to watch the Leader of the Free World answer questions coherently and in complete sentences using real words. Over the past 8 years, I'd gotten so use to watching the former president stand before the entire world as I cringed with his every word. Needless to say that watching our current President of the United States, Barack Obama, answer questions from the international press corps made me very proud. Finally, we have a leader who, by all accounts is... Read Full Story
