NOTE: I tried to post this earlier today but the video did not work correctly. Now it's been uploaded to YouTube, so I'm re-posting. Also cross-posted at Huffington Post
One of my fellow Arizonans made a beautiful video (which I've embedded after the jump) entitled, I Cried Today. The first part is a poem and then supporters say why it important to them to elect Barack Obama.
From the video maker:
On April 7th my mother sent me an email Forward and the subject line was, "Today I Cried." I remember thinking, "What in the world made my mother cry?" So I opened the email to find a poem (see below). The poem so moved me that I immediately adopted it into a script and began the process of putting together a shoot.
These people are not actors; they are ordinary Obama supporters. Oh, how I wish you could have been there to feel the energy and love in the room the day we taped.
If it does not make you cry, or at least tear up, then you don't have a soul, or a heart, or ok, ok, maybe you're just not the crying type, but I promise you, I cried.
Take the jump, it is worth your while.
