Starting yesterday I really started to feel the emotions.
We watched the 40th anniversary bio-pic of Martin Luther King Jr., from 2008, on the history channel. It really stirred up some emotions in me and helped to set in concrete my beliefs that you NEVER give up, you always keep fighting for what is just and right, and just like with war, violence should ALWAYS be a last last last resort!
So today we celebrate, in so many ways across this country, the life of a hero... yes a hero, a true American hero by the name of Martin Luther King Jr. How fitting that the day to remember MLK Jr. falls on the day before the inauguration of OUR first black president who just happens to come from the same state of Abraham Lincoln. This could not have been planned any better.

Tomorrow (or today if you are reading this on the 20th) we celebrate a new chapter, a new beginning for this country. We have a chance to help President Obama achieve great things for this country and for We The People. He can not do this alone, with our voices and our actions we will be his partner in fixing what is wrong with this nation while preserving what is right.
Come and help celebrate with us tomorrow evening (Jan. 20th) in Tacoma, WA at The Swiss (21 and Over) - sorry.
