What a time to be alive...in this country... |
|
An historic moment, like none in my 64 years...
To hear such a man speak truth to power...
To see him lead the way, around that unknown, scary corner into the future...
I am not afraid of what lies ahead now, for I see the way so clearly.
I struggle to find the words that truly express my joy and my hope tonight.
I am ready to take up this cause for the country that I hold dear!
Will you join me?
Come, take my hand, and let us travel together to take back our White House!
:patriot:

16. California Peggy, I feel so much better, better than i have felt in years. |
|
I forgot how depressed I have been for eight years, me and the country both. I thought I was going to die in a foreign country, not the old republic I grew up in. I didn't want to die in a country that i couldn't recognize. I'll take your hand, honey. I am so happy tonight. he's going to win and we have a chance. at last.

We'll travel together through DU . .. .
It's nights like this we can appreciate this marvelous website. We are so overwrought with emotion that our families can't even stand us.
Thank you DU for being here when we need you..

We need to make this man President. A leader like this comes along once in a generation.
We owe it to the future.

17. I'm 54, old enough to remember John F. Kennedy |
|
and the affection for him and the feeling of hopefulness during his administration. I feel that the time has cycled round for a similar moment in history, where we'll be a nation of hope and enthusiasm for service. Maybe that movement forward that we had in the 60s and early 70s has come to us again. That's what I'm hopting.

You joined this incredible village almost exactly three years after I did...
I hope that being a member here will help you become as good a woman as you can!
It did that for me, and I will always be grateful...
A great night to be all those things!
