Yes we can heal this nation

[exsequar]

I know someone on my flist posted "Yes, we can" icons recently, but I can't for the life of me remember who. I thought I had saved one, but apparently not because I fail! Who was it? Was it you? Cause I really want to use one of them. Found! Thanks Avia my love! <3

I keep watching the Yes We Can video and weeping openly, every damn time. I also watched his speech from yesterday, after he won again (woo!), and there were more tears! It's just. The things he says echoes everything I've ever heard from my activist friends, from healthcare to education to foreign policy. And he has a chance to lead this country. That overwhelms me so much that I am almost afraid to hope, for fear of jinxing it. But like he says, "there has never been anything false about hope."

Change we can believe in. ♥

I am indeed! I'm on gchat and MSN and can be on AIM if you want :)

I might have to ask you to sign onto aim... cause I have a new computer and my sister can't remember her msn password. I just need to get aim actually installed first. :)

:D Hooray for another Obama supporter. I haven't gotten any news lately (where did he win?) but a world of yes to the Yes We Can video.

Obamaaaa! <3 He won caucuses or primaries (I'm still not 100% clear on the difference!) in Louisiana, Washington, and Nebraska, by very large margins \o/
