January 20th, will be a day in history we will all remember. One year ago, Barack Oama spoke.
"We know the battle ahead will be long. But always remember that, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. ... For when we have faced down impossible odds, when we've been told we're not ready or that we shouldn't try or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."
I have to say, "what's going on in Portland for the changing of the guard?" I have been trying to find a place in Portland to celebrate. Does anyone know where we can go to be among those who are wishing the same? All of us are anxiously awaiting a turning point. January 20th, if we all move as one, this can be that point.
Are you looking for a place to celebrate? Email and let me know. We have space, we only need your desire.
