Heather's Response

I think that we are definitely ready for an African American or woman president. It really shouldn't matter what race or gender the president is. I don't look at that. I look at their views and see what they have to offer our country. Some people are very stereotypical and think its not a woman's place still to run a country. Or some people are racist and don't think someone who is African American's place can run a country. This is sad since it is the year 2007. I mean our current president is a white man and look at the rut he has driven us into. As the Declaration of Independence says, "All men are created equal", meaning everyone should have a fair shot. I will voting in the 2008 election. I think every vote counts and hopefully one of these candidates can turn our country around for the better.
