139. I Believe my State of the Union would go something like this:
I believe that the state of the union is under the stress of powerful anti-democratic forces, but that the signs of its resilience are already manifesting, and that these signs grow with each passing day.

I believe that we have gone from asking, “What are they hiding?” to wondering, “How long can they hide it?”, and that now we are moving into the phase of “How long can everyone ignore it?”

Between the unprecedented low ratings for a president supposedly just re-elected, to the vast wellspring of grass-roots efforts and awareness in ten thousand forms, to the suddenly awake and outspoken democrats in Congress who stand up to say no to lies and torture and concerted national embezzlement, we see where the momentum is.

And woe is them, for our momentum is growing, with vigor and passion.


:thumbsup:
