continue to increase momentum for change. They have already demonstrated their desire to shape the future. I am not worried about them being at the helm, they knew the best thing to do and did it. OFA is supposed to stay together, or at least part of it and I hope to see these young faces doing more great things.

Mine, too. Indeed they will NOT be denied. Hell, WE will NOT be denied. Because they are us and we are them. As Mad-Eye Moody always warned Harry Potter: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!!!!" I find it really rather an outrage - that this kind of thing is happening in 2012. Two Thousand and Twelve. This isn't the Middle Ages. This isn't the 18th Century. It just shows the quiet nobility of everyday heroes. They would NOT be denied. And they struck a blow for every single American presently on this side of the dirt. But adding insult to injury is how voting rights were presumably SETTLED. ALREADY. And all of a sudden it's a damned issue again! This was settled. And now the bad guys are back, making it an issue again.

Glad you're here. We need you. Stay vigilant!

For standing in long lines to enter your vote.You are our countries pride and joy to me. Stay in tune with your political convictions and please continue to vote. You have helped to defeat the moneyied monsters of 2012 and proven that those monsters are not as smart as you are! Congratulations with all my respect.
