Like he said, "look forward" and that's what we do. Wonder if he'll even be listening on Sunday, or if he remembers his campaign rhetoric from yesteryear.

Changes can and do come, issues are put to bed if we do nothing. I will be out there tomorrow for the following two reasons. "If you want to be hopeful, you have to do hopeful things." Daniel Berrigan "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter" Martin Luther King You know the people in Germany did nothing and we know what happened. I wonder if he listens when his daughters ask why are all those people standing outside with signs. "

Barely a whisper as we lose the 2000th soldier in Afghanistan, obama's war. 2,000 dead Americans: The toll of the Afghan War (so far) Any man can count the seeds in an apple.... .......but only God can count the apples in the seeds.

Thanks for being there tomorrow.

It was good to see so many new fresh young faces taking part in the action today. My pics from today are at link below if anyone is interested.
