Barack Obama said "We had the highest African-American turnout in history, but it was still only about 60 percent. When people say voting doesn't make a difference, we've never tried what it would look like if it was 80 percent voting. Voting's about using the power we have. We can't just imagine a better future. We have got to fight for it. We have got to vote like never before. We have got to vote, and then get some change, and then vote some more, and then get some more change, and then keep on voting, until we get it right." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
