we're getting closer!

I'm not necessarily advocating that DC become the 51st state, but I want my voice and vote to count. Today we got a little closer. It's a new day...

Today the Senate approved the DC House Voting Rights Act (shout out to Maine's senators who have been kicking some ass lately.) It's been a long time coming and it's a first step down a fair and just path.  The legislation is now on to the House where it will hopefully sail through and then to the President's desk where it's expected to be signed. It could hit a wall if it goes to supreme court, but tonight we celebrate.

Hanging with Obama

It was really nice of him to pose with us at Union Station. He *is* the people's president.

let the festivities begin!

I hope to update during the weekend and maybe I'll have some fun and exciting stuff to share. Right now I'm headed out to find something to wear over my strapless dress so I don't freeze at the ball tomorrow night. More to come...

Some catch up...

Did I ever show these? They were dessert on election night and they were so appropriate. I'm way behind on posting because it's been a crazy couple of weeks.

Election night was great. We had lots off friends and family over and enjoyed every minute of watching the results. You can see lots of fun pictures here.

After Obama won Grant, Sarah and I headed to U and 14th and partied in the streets of DC with many happy and hopeful people. The energy was incredible and the mood quite celebratory. What a night!

Here are some favorite pics of the night...

a night to remember!

I'll provide pictures and details about last night later today, but here is a video of U Street where we found ourselves celebrating in the am.

Who the F@#k Is That Guy?

I've found myself glued to cable news lately and on the weekend I get a bit frustrated with the pundits. This clip from the Daily Show made me laugh...

grant is headed for ohio

 

Grant is getting on a bus headed for Ohio to work for Obama. He'll be back on Sunday, but they hope to talk to a million people this weekend. Great work Grant!!

I voted

 

And it seems this time my vote may mean something. Get out and vote!

Check out the video I posted late last night...funny stuff.
