The shirt says it all!

Waking up on November 5 is an incredible feeling. It feels different…it feels new..it feels better. Not better because of what we’ve done, but of what we’re about to do. We are in the position to make this country the America we want and need, as well as the America we have purported ourselves to be. I just welcomed into this world a granddaughter this weekend(Taylor Amari-7lbs) and I actually feel like she might have a decent world to live in. Until yesturday I wasn’t sure if it would be, but today there’s hope, which is all we ever asked for. It’s not up to Barack..sorry, President-Elect Obama to save the day but to inspire us to help him save this country and improve our quality of life. This is the future I’ve always imagined, and it’s now tangible. It’s within reach people, so let’s not stop now. We didn’t just win an election; we won oppurtunity, which is the true American dream. Dr. King is proud y’all. So am I! UGK for life, long live Pimp C!Signing off, Bun B

This is Bun B from UGK, reporting live from Houston Texas, Missouri City to be exact! Its election day, 7:45 am and I’m out on the block with KBXX 97.9 The Box, broadcasting live from polling centers.

We are trying to make sure people know where to go to vote today and the rules that apply. Today is history and I’m happy to be a part of it! 3 stops before ten today, and more later! Barack just cast his ballot (wonder who he voted for..LOL), and the game is on! Make sure you vote today if you haven’t already! I’ll holla back soon..peace!

 

I think now more than ever we have to have change, things can not continue the way they’ve been going. When you look at a Barack and a Hillary, you see that we can be looked at totally different as a country if we were willing to take different things. With no offense to John McCain, the man is a war hero and has done a lot for this country, but when you look at John McCain, he doesn’t reflect the struggle of America; he doesn’t really reflect America. When I look at him, I don’t see America. Unfortunately, that’s kind of what you get what you look at Barack. He’s a child of mixed nationalities; we have that in America, that’s what America is…the mixing of nationalities. He reflects that struggle. He grew up in a single parent home and we have a lot of people in America that can’t relate to that; he reflects that struggle. Overcoming different odds in his life, made a few mistakes in his earlier years, learned to move past them, not afraid to put those things on the table, not afraid to let his life be an open book so people can criticize him because if you plan to criticize anybody about anything, you have to be willing to let people criticize you. So I think on so many different levels Obama reflects the flow of this country right now.
