There are no words…

January 18, 2009 · Posted in Barack Obama · Comments 

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.

Monumental Lie of the Yes on 8 Campaign

New Yes on 8 lies

In living color. These misguided people somehow think handing the state a strict definition of marriage guarantees their constitutional freedoms? Don’t they realize the consequences of abrogating what the church has been free to define themselves to the state?

See, they want you to think that somehow churches will be forced to perform same-sex marriages. Of course, that’s simply not true. But they think their argument works.

To the Yes on 8 folks: I really hope I don’t hear wailing and gnashing of teeth in your churches about how you can’t reach young people. Because this campaign, more than any other, has alienated those you most hoped to reach.

Very sad.
