…That I Haven’t Been This Proud to Be an American in Years?
Tonight I am proud. I feel elation and I am hopeful for the future. What I have witnessed, like so many others, is history. What I have seen made me cry a combination of tears of joy and stress relief. I stood in front of my TV and watched both an eloquent and sincere concession and an inspiring and selfless map for our future by the President-elect.
President Obama.
With this change in our country I see a future. I see an enormous opportunity for the world to look at us as they have looked at us in the past. I am filled with pride and I am going to bed pleased that so many are in agreement.
I go to sleep tonight pleased… and continue to be hopeful that the right for gays and lesbians to marry in the state of California is not taken away. This proposition is not yet fully counted.
