Yes We Did...

So many words come to mind, the speech by Martin Luther King was in my head the whole time, we had a dream, and last night it was answered. We won a battle, but have yet to win the war. There is so much more to be done, so keep working. We made a great first effort, but the real work will be in 2010.

Enjoy the victory but we still have more battles till equality for all is reached. There are others waiting for equal rights. We want Freedom of Religion but it is forgotten that Freedom of Religion also means Freedom from Religion. We need to work to keep the Church and State separate. We need immigration reform, meaningful reform.  Heathcare for all..

Onward....

Prop 8

The Daily Kos has a good article on Prop 8... I know the battle is not over.

the day..

Most of the 'fundies' at work are taking the defeat of their man McCain well, well almost all of them, we have one or two who will not accept a black man as their leader. I guess racism dies a slow hard death for some.

On the way in this morning I saw the temps dip to 31 degrees. When my little ICE warning keeps flashing in my rear view mirror, I do slow down.

Tomorrow I'll be near Ontario (California) taking a training seminar. I'm joining my 'replacement' and will be there to provide guidance. Hey, the people giving the seminar are providing a free lunch. Can't be all bad.

While McCain gave a good consession speech, the crowd he spoke to wasn't too ready to accpet defeat.  I guess it will take a while for them to come around. I still have about 10 small Obama stickers left to deface McCain/Palin bumper stickers with.

Onward....

the hidden money behind Prop 8..

This article about Howard Ahmanson... big money and Elsa Broekhuizen, mother of Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater... the two people willing to fund Yes on 8...


Know thine enemy...

how...

If the words of prop 8 are as simple as they seem, would they not be
considered a violation of the equal protection clause? Would federal law
trump California?
