Like a lot of people I was all weepy and down for most of yesterday. Honestly I expected to still be in that state for the rest of the week. To my pleasant surprise, I find I'm more energized for this battle than ever. I believe that Robert Reich is right... those of us with progressive ideals WILL win the war for America. We are in touch with the true soul and spirit of this country.
Maybe it was naive of us to expect to have an effect faster than we have. I think we did a good job, actually, considering the voter fraud and blackbox voting and massive 'liberal' media conspiracy we were up against.
I guess I just want to say that I hope many of us will find the will to keep fighting. I am more than concerned about the direction bush will take this country in, but I know all I can do is rededicate myself to supporting and expanding the new progressive infrastructure that's only started to form in the last few years.

This article spells out why these groups are so important.
Check them out and pick one and either donate or volunteer your time. This is how we educate the masses. Not by supporting individual politicians with our time and efforts, but by funding the network of message-forming groups so that we can counter what the right has developed over the past 40 years.
They didn't spread their message and bring so many to believe in their opinions overnight, we shouldn't expect to either.
