I was in Prince William County VA the night befor the election, to see what now is the last speech made by SENATOR Barack Obama. Rumor has it there were 90-100,000 of us there.

I am proud that now the notion that 'yes you can grow up to be the president' seems a lot more reachable to a large portion of our population. I'm glad I could be a part of it.

I thought both candidates made wonderful speeches last night, and I hope the spirit of that continues for President-elect Obama's term.

And I'm sorry to hear of so many initiatives that passed that just legalize hate and discrimination, and I'm especially sorry for those of you that are personally affected, though one could argue that it affects us all. Maybe this administration can do something to change some attitudes. I'm sure hoping!
