...and yes we did!
We were at the Oregon Convention Center last night along with our pals from the Washco Dems and lots of other elated Portlanders celebrating a turning point for our country. I even heard that when it was announced that Barack Obama was elected President, people were stopping their cars in downtown Portland so they could get out to hoot and holler! Oh yeah!
I am happy. I am proud. I am hopeful. Lots of work ahead of us but for now, we are cheering...and I know the rest of the world is cheering too! :-)
What a beautiful day!
I can clearly see you and yours are as happy as I am!!! I love our new President and the hope he brings to all of us!! I'm sure you got the same letter in your inbox, as I did in mine, something I will cherish forever!
