Goodness & Courage
The Senate just voted 65-31 to repeal the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell ban on lesbians and gays serving openly in the military. I’m speechless. My face is wet with all the losses we’ve suffered. And I’m remembering those I know who sacrificed. In Silence. Whose families suffered. In Silence. Whose families struggled because they had none of the support other families receive from the military. Whose life partners walked in terror that they would be the last to know of the wounding or death of the person they loved most in the world.

This will be an historic election -- if Obama wins
By Nancy Jane Moore
I've had the radio going all day, and about every fifteen minutes someone mentions that this is going to be an historic election -- usually in the context of encouraging everyone to vote.
But it's only going to be an historic election if Obama wins. If he loses, we're going to get business as usual, not to mention four more years of failed policies that are likely to finish destroying our country.
So go out and vote for Obama and make some history.
