-Lyrics-

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.



Celebrities featured include: Jesse Dylan, Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon

  • We Choose Character Over Change

    I challenge all of you who watch this video to watch the four-part film on youtube called - "We Choose Character Over Change" -This will answer all of your questions about McCain and Obama - the facts are clearly presented - AND THE CHOICE IS CLEAR!

    • O.O'

      Yeah I'm sure you would have much rather have seen more money go to the people that DON'T need it and a war with Iran and Afghanistan at the same time (we're still going into Afghan, believe that).

      If you really think McCain would have been the better choice, then you are misinformed about the facts.

    • The man is a tool

      He may be able to speak well, but Obama's choices are looking just like another liberal government. Its not change. For someone who wanted to "reach across the isle", he certainly isn't doing it. He is also one of the people who helped cause this economic breakdown. And by the way spreading the wealth is called socialism, and so far it hasn't worked in the US. So leave well enough alone. Remember the last time the economy went this way, it took a war to get us out of it. And since we are going into Afghanistan and Iran anyway, McCain would have been the better choice. Obama has no military experience.
