Yes, It was chilly today at the Capital, but not unomfortably so. The crowd was smaller than I'd hoped, but it was glowing with passion. The color orange was everywere!
I just really enjoyed being up close and personal with the characters that have had their work grace the threads of DU since I entered here after Nov. 2. It's a beginning of a new movement that can only grow as the amazing people who worked so hard to document the fraud and who DID stand up today to make history. They will need the support by the thousands and thousands of us. We have all accomplished so much. More would have been great today, but one is all we needed. It's a beginning.
David Lytel spoke quite a bit. Susan Truitt, Clint Curtis, Wayne Madsen, Jonathan Simon, David? Phillips, Mike Levine - and others. I got to talk to almost all of these good people who have fascinated me with their various angles of research. Now I have faces and handshakes to go with my knowledge of their work.
Again, what I saw today was a beautiful display of orange passion. I hope that we can find some imaginative ways to shower them all with the most public displays of affection we can muster.
Well, I'm exhausted and I want to catch up with what the rest of the world learned today. Just got back to Princeton with two other people who carpooled with me from North Jersey. I'm glad we gave up our day at work to show up. Our presence was definitely needed to make the crowd a just a little bit bigger - but, I have to say that it was exciting for me to get up so close and personal with all of these people that may some day be heroes that my kids and grandkids will learn about in school.
It's up to all of us to do the work that most of our politicians are obviously incapable of doing.
Will Pitt... where were you?! I wanted to shake your hand and personally thank you. You are a hero too!
