obama accepts nomination tonight Options

(CNN) -- Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28,1963, Martin Luther King Jr. shared his vision for a new America:

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal,' " he said before a crowd of hundreds of thousands.

King's dream for a land where his children would "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" would be repeated, meditated upon and memorized for generations to come.

On the 45th anniversary of King's rousing call, Sen. Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination at INVESCO Field in Denver, Colorado. In what represents at least a partial actualization of King's dream, Obama will officially become the first African-American to lead a major party's ticket for president of the United States.

AHHH, i can't believe they're all HERE in colorado..it's been so freaking amazing. they obviously had to close down a couple of highways last weekend in preparation for the humongous amount of traffic coming in, but it's all been great! and i absolutely love invesco stadium, great place to have it at.

i missed a lot of the convention because school just started up again this week and it's been killer, but i watched the entire speech and it gave me goosebumps while i was clapping and yelling, lol. barack is awesome.
