There are no words…
I have struggled to articulate what races through my head (and has since November 4th) as we approach the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.
I cannot find the right words to say how I feel, what this means to me, what I hope for.
As I watched today’s concert at the Lincoln Memorial with tears streaming down my face, all I could think of was: Yes We Did.
We ARE the new American Majority. All of us. With voices, and tools and communities and a will for change.
Yes we did. Yes we can.
May God bless Barack Obama and his beautiful family and keep them safe.
May we begin the arduous process of rebuilding this country one citizen, one family, one small spark of hope at a time.
Hope is a powerful and amazing motivator. We can, we will, and we did.

4th in the series. I can post one a day for the 10 years the ‘drill-here,drill-now’ doctrine would take to make any tiny changes. And will.
Chevron declared profits of $6 Billion today, up 11% for the second quarter of 2008. Cumulative 2008 profits are nearly $12 Billion.
The usual “failed to meet expectations spin” followed their announcement.
Rep.John Culberson(R-TX) has been twittering from the House floor, claiming that Nancy Pelosi is trying to shutter public debate of the specious drill-here drill-now policy. Rep. Culberson, you are most welcome to visit this blog, enjoy the pretty pictures, and give me one strong, valid, logical argument for why “drill here, drill now” is even worth the air it’s being given.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty slogan intended to lull dumb Americans into selling out their coastlines and their humanity.
