Just got back from the March. I can't even begin to explain how I feel. Tired, sore, a little phlegmy, yep, those are all how I'm feeling...and also incredible. I feel this absolutely incredible feeling of calm and peace and power.
I was one of the many coordinators of the Democracy For America Delegation and I was deeply saddened when Dean decided not to speak or march with us. No, I do't accept scheduling difficulties as an excuse. The reality is that 1000 Dean supporters were there...we deserved more.
In the end, my roomate, my house guests (in from NY for the DFA delegation) and I had incredible tales of the power of positive strong women making a difference in the world. And now, I feel as if I do have the power to change America. To really take back this party!!
So, I'd like to say that my favorite sign today was:
"We have a Plan for Parenthood, Do you have a Plan for Iraq?"
And my favorite moment:
when nearly everyone in the DFA delegation signed my poster. Yes, our delegation had a DFA poster that I created and everyone I could coax into signing it, did! Have no idea yet what we'll do with it, but it's likely there are 1000 signatures on it, or close to it. Maybe hte Smithsonian would like it for a collection on this March or Campaigning.
All in all, pretty damn Fabulous, huh?
So, can you feel the power?
I plan to link to my pics on this as soon as I download the pics. I'll likely post a link on my blog, but not sure yet. I'm too tired tonight, but the pics are just incredible.
