We have taken back our country.
In a decisive night, America invalidated the "Permanent Republican Majority" of Karl Rove and embraced the open progressive mandate of Barack Obama.
But first, there is something we as all Americans can still do.
Fly your flag. Your American flag. From everywhere: your car, your home, your heart.
The time has come to fly our flag again. Time to show friends and neighbors that America has emerged from the darkness.
Last night at midnight, I found our flag. It had been put aside for a moment like this. I didn't have a flagpole so I found a long stake, drilled some holes in it and secured my flag.
I went outside into the darkness of night and hung my flag in front of my house.
At first light, my neighbors could see how I felt. I could hardly be prouder of my country.
Yes we can.
Fly your flag.
