Thankfully
we have found a tireless and farsighted champion in the form of President Barack Obama.
Obama's Policies
The Future
America's History

World's Envy
In fact, the reason why America is the envy of the world is the fact that we are able to look at our resources regardless of how limited and narrow they may be and allowed ourselves to imagine something better. We challenged ourselves to think up of a world that goes beyond our present limitations.
In other words, we did not focus on the things that bound and limited us. We didn’t obsess about the seeming scarcity of ideas and resources that seem to always drag us back and hold us down. Instead of allowing our realities to be simply ang singularly molded by limitations as they existed at a particular point in our history, we chose to bravely look into the future even though people around us were doubtful.
Even though people pointed fingers and insulted the visionaries, they kept pushing. They kept dreaming. Regardless of whether they were met by police batons, police dogs, water hoses and all sorts of obstacles, they knew that there was a better future for America. They knew that there was such a thing as a progressive tomorrow and they bet everything that they had to make that vision happen.

Our hope
It is our hope that President Barack Obama’s progressive vision for the future continues long into the future. But for this to happen, we need torch-bearers like you. The torch has been passed to us by minors striking in the 1930s struggling against wave after wave of bullets shot at them by the police.The torch has been passed to us by the bloodied hands of Civil Rights protesters in the 1960s who stared down police dogs and harsh walls of fire hoses and police batons to deliver the age of Civil Rights. They have been passed on to us by women who have braved the decades of abortion laws so that women can eventually get the right to choose.
This flaming torch that you hold in your hand has been passed on to you because of the backs of the many gay activists who have struggled decades of humiliation, embarrassment and ridicule just so they can wake up in America where people are not penalized for loving who they wish to love.

What we have for you
In this website, we offer pumpkin carvings of lanterns that highlight hope not just from the Obama years but these lanterns shine a light to a future all Americans will share. Whether you’re a big supporter of the right of a woman to choose, minority’s rights against discrimination or the rights of immigrants from all over the world to live freely in the United States, you need to take up this torch.
This website presents this torch in the form of pumpkin lantern carvings. They contain all sorts of messages that we’re all united in one hope. We all believe that the best days of America are not in the foggy recesses of the past. We all believe that the full potential of America cannot be found in some stone statue carved up many decades ago.
Instead, we believe that everything that is best, pure and truly humanizing and empowering about America lies in the future but that future can only be unlocked when all of us unite. It is our hope that the photos of the pumpkin carvings we share in this website give you that flicker of hope so you can light that flame in that part of the United States you live in.
That’s right. Even if you live in the reddest of red states, let that flame flicker to life in your heart and shine it to people around you. You’d be surprised as to how many other people have that flicker of flame in their hearts as well. All it takes is one person to allow themselves to shine like a bright light in the darkness for the humiliation, the fear, the narrowness and the hate that the darkness represents to melt away.
