I deeply appreciate your words, it was for the sons and daughters of all of us for whom I spoke, and the soldiers who die over seas so far away from their loved ones while they wait on us to help them, never in my life have I felt so many voices become my own joining into a symphony of Democracy for justice I wished to make my own, it was all who labor while paying to a government our tax, it grew while I watched as a poll worker those who were denigned the right to vote, my heart broke for them that day, but it also carries on for them in their struggle to be heard everyday in a country which does not see them, blinded from their suffering, I could no longer stand by and watch, I had to take a stand and I believe I did so because so many voices out here in the world of the web sounded so similiar to my own, it gave me the strength to stand up for us, the hopeful Americans who still dream of Democracy and freedom. You will never know just how much you all have inspired me. When I carry my flag this Saturday in DC, I carry it for you. I hope you all join in the rallies across this country, they are for us and about our courage to move against a great force which must be crumble to pebbles beneath our feet to save our country, our country people, and our Democracy for our children.
