It was beautiful forty+ years ago. It is probably more populated now. The weather was nice, too. There was a small snow ski area nearby. Nothing like the Rockies, but I’m sure it’s still fun.

That’s the way change happens. When the emoprogs have the floor and the sounding board, we are going to have to guide them and use their voices to get the change that PBO is fighting for. We can do this. It’s not always going to work and we will have to pushback but we are now the movers and shakers – the middle class. We are the ones that can go #forward with our messages. I am personally working on gun control – that’s my pet (if that word can be used in a discussion on guns) project. I want meaningful gun laws to happen and happen soon. Once Gabby Giffords started her campaign the movement got a huge surge of integrity and she is the face of courage. We all have this courage, we will tap into it and make PBO’s changes happen. I was struck last night by the sameness of Mario Rubio’s words (when not laughing). The GOP put their same old words onto a new face. I think that most of the country is not stupid and can see this. I am encouraged when I read articles, see tweets and facebook postings supporting the President. I have not been this encouraged in a long, long time. It’s an exciting time for all of us and I am glad that I have the opportunity to witness it.
