I live in Iowa - Bettendorf to be exact. Right along the Mississippi River. This morning on the way to work I saw 3 bald eagles on an ice block a small way out on the river. I parked my car, grabbed my video camera and took some great shots of these wonderful creatures sitting for awhile and then flying around looking for fish.
On my lunch hour I hit the Dean Headquarters in Davenport IA. The place is abuzz! The campaign is in full force and going wild here in Iowa!
What do these two events in my Thursday have to do with each other? They both remind me why I live in the USA. We have a great country. The bald eagles came back from near extinction. Democracy can also come back. It's happening here in Iowa folks! Don't listen to the mainstream press... just work, work, work!
Those 3 eagles I saw this morning will be living in a much better America once Howard Dean is in office and reversing the Bush environmental policies.
