This is my first diary, and I cannot think of a better way to begin than by providing this link to Senator Boxer's inspirational speech in the Senate today-- after the cloture vote:
LISTEN HERE
Until this evening, I was unaware of her speech, even though I had visited a number of blogs and listened to some progressive radio shows today.
I hope you will consider sharing this link with others, and I hope you will join me in sending her thanks for speaking so eloquently on this very important matter.
