PREAMBLE

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more Perfect Union, establish Justice, insure Domestic Tranquility, provide for the Common Defence, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish: THAT WE HAVE ELECTED BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!”

Well folks, the votes are tallied, the ballots are counted, MS NBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, and of Course Erika’s Comedy Central have been watched and drooled over. My own salivation not with held, my own joy not held back, yes, even I, a Strict Bush TWO Term supporter, was shouting for joy. The foolish grin of “Hope and Justice for ALL!” plastered across my face as “The Maverick” was losing his foot holds in the east. Even my beloved Wisconsin turned blue, Tommy Thompson must have been green at the gills! All my love to him, you did us good ‘ole chap, but, hell even I can have hope, and hope I did as I cast my vote proudly.
Now I know, I know, Kentucky was Red you will say. But need I remind you, it was by the smallest margin? I mean really, we rocked it, we showed up in droves, we took a stand, we believe.

I BELIEVE!

Now, in this time of joyous celebration, I will not be casting stones, hats of Mr. McCain, gracious bow out to our beloved President Elect, well spoken, and very gentlemen like, when your party was not last night, the footage was appalling. I wonder what would have happened if they had won? A riot?? Any way, thank you for being a good sport sir, you are truly a leader in your own capacity. You have been true to yourself and done your party and state proud.

I want to impress a point here, I am not one to impress my views on people, but hell this is my blog I can say whatever I damn well please. The House and Senate look like they will be majority Democrat as well. Okay, hopping on my soap box here…

Will all The Lesbian and Gay Folks PLEASE STAND UP???

Hello people…for those of you who did not see the vice presidential debates, from Mr. Biden’s mouth to our ears, the next presidency will not oppose same sex couples having equal rights.

Health care. Insurance. Housing. Hospital visitation. Child care. Financial. Social. Need I go on? We are looking at the very real possibility of never having to wage the war again of having to look at a form and wondering where do I put my partner, will this doctor or hospital support my partner being with me, what happens to him or her if something happens to me? No one will have to write the family pet in their will any more (yes right now you all know who you are Erika and I have had to do it too) to make sure that if the unthinkable happens our family stays together.

The Time To Stand Is Now. We have the people in place who are willing to back us, support us, fight for us, be with us, whether you are in Louisville, Maine, New York, California, Chicago, Florida, Pass the message on, It is time to take a stand, THE TIME IS NOW.

Start writing you congress people, state and county spokes people, rally together, help Obama and Biden help us, The can make change, you voted, you had a voice, don’t let that voice die on November 4, 2008, Carry the torch, light the way make it happen, follow it through, and we will succeed.

We Are The Change.
