Tears of joy
WE TOOK THE HOUSE.
Rumsfield has resigned.
We are one seat away from taking the Senate.
7 marriage bans won, but one did not.
South Dakota defeated its abortion ban.
Nancy Pelosi is the first female Speaker of the House.
THANK YOU TO MOVEON.ORG AND EVERYONE WHO HAS GIVEN ME BACK HOPE FOR MY COUNTRY.
I wept last night when I saw we'd won the House; it was the best I have felt in a long, long time.
And in the future when we win the Senate, and the presidency, and the courts, and the hearts and minds of the people who keep voting to take away my rights and your rights, and when the last of the queer marriage bans is overturned...I look forward to feeling this good again. I'm so tired of feeling vulnerable, ignored, devalued, threatened.
We Will Make It Happen.
