excellent commercial. "Powerful women took center stage"

I have never had a freshman class that is so fired up around the danger we face if the Romney-Ryan agenda becomes the national policy. I just watched them all register to vote when a NYPIRG volunteer came to class. I suppose I have to tip my hat to the Teapublicans for the wake-up call that has taken place. You guys declared war, and you are going to lose it. Women across the U.S. and men who support us are going to make that happen. I can’t wait to head to class and hear the feedback around the DNC. I’ve already heard what young folks had to say about the R's. Unequivocal thumbs down.

I want to encourage those of you who are reading to ensure that we keep up the pressure and get the word out. Not everyone spent their last few days glued to watching the Convention. The networks didn’t air many of the important speeches that were made. Many of the “pun-idjits,” as I call them, have spent their time either ignoring, dismissing or projecting a fictional narrative.

It’s up to each of us to fight back—with the truth. To spread the word using every tool we have. To utilize the wonderful visual textbook on the DNC website and in the C-Span video library as our weapons in this war. To get folks registered to vote and out to the polls.

Today I’m highlighting some of the high points, for me, of the convention that may not have gotten the coverage they deserve. I won’t post the phenomenal speech by our FLOTUS (video here), even though I’m tempted, simply because the TM couldn’t ignore her. She got prime time coverage and rocked the house.

I want to thank, and focus on some of the other amazing women who stood up for all of us.
