The Democrats are already addressing Habeas Corpus and Election Fraud. An ex-soldier speaks out against the administration's policies in Iraq. Faux News is finally revealed to be manipulating the news -- now confirmed and openly discussed, instead of just suspected and silenced. The American worker is back in Congress and back on the agenda. The NYT calls for serious Election Reform.

This is going to be a great time for America. The road is long, the journey will have hard patches, and we'll all disagree about some things now and again, but look at what's happening!

America will soon get back to feeling like her old self again, and the change has already begun.

2. Nominated!

Thank you for the positive message. All of the hard work of progressives at the grass roots level are beginning to really pay off. We need to keep up the good work!

4. Thanks for that

It means a lot coming from you.

We here at DU were a big part of it as well. Whether it was voicing opinions, making calls, working in the community, donating money, however we each did our part, DU, dKos and other blogs are part of creating the atmosphere which encouraged the public to take a chance and make a change.

Thanks for the post. If you had seen this two weeks ago, it would have been slightly difficult to believe.

6. I'm not sure you're correct

that we'll disagree now and then.

Whoops! Never mind.

Great post. Still trying to get used to the idea that it's safe to breathe and feel hope.
