Yeah..that's right. You, you know who I'm talking to. Get ready for it.
I've read your diaries with interest, I have respect for your writings but tonight when I came on the board I could have cared less.
I was feeling done, lost in my thoughts which kept saying "How could they do this?". Having put time and money into the promise of progress and change this evenings events were just weighing on my shoulders. Why try if the DLC and status quo always manage to win?
Then I read your diary. There was no pause in your beliefs, no question in what was right, it was just "Fight On". And you are right.
I've always hesitated giving more than $100.00 here are there for presidential candidates because I'm a Richardson supporter and I'm maxed for him and have felt morally obligated to wait for his word on future plans. Don't get me wrong. I'm proud of my support and would support him again. He's a good democrat.
But tonight, I listened to your words and the weight was eased off of me. I'll be damned if I'll agree to "No Change", "No Hope" and being told that my hope for a better future is just a "fantasy" without a fight. No way in hell.
So, tonight, because its the right thing to do and you lifted my spirits and made me recognize that we need to keep trying to have a voice, I will max out my donation for Obama. I'll also contact the campaign and see of what use I can be in Nevada...and I'm not without contacts there.
To Hell with the "Man" and Hope for the future.
and a very serious, heartfelt, "thank you".
