now that the Big Dog (may he live long and prosper) has indelibly made the case for all the positive change from President Obama and his administration, it's time to bring back Garrison Davis' beautiful World of Friends song. I did the slideshow based on the amazing Bridges for Obama grassroots initiative: look at all those Americans in all those countries!!
DNC 2012: we're stronger together!
and yet another note I posted on FB:
how'm I feeling now? joy and determination.
I respect everyone's right to love their country - and I love being American. I love what we stand for in our greatest moments. I love that we reflect the colors of every kind of rainbow life can offer.
I think the DNC, at its best, shows us ourselves, at our best.
So, I'm fired up, and ready to go call folks in swing states to ask them to vote for the Democratic Party, up and down the ticket, so we can hand the gavel back to Ms. Pelosi and give Pres. Obama a Congress that works for the people. and when that mission is accomplished, it'll be time to push for more progress, move the needle back to the left.
but first thing first: here are the links to use and to share:
