"America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love". Obama's Nomination Victory Speech In St. Paul 11- 5-08

To add just one more cliche - 'We are the ones we've been waiting for.'

Those of us who can not be there in body can help by promoting the cause, donating to the strike fund and educating those who don't understand the history and the future of organized labor.
