Live from the DNCwinter meeting
I am here at the Democratic National Committee meeting in Washington, DC. It's fun being "press.' (Note to my fellow bloggers at the meeting, don't settle for a blogger's pass. People who write blogs are press and the establishment needs to be taught that.)
I went to the Resolutions Committee meeting. Unbelievably, a resolution was introduced which supported fair and open elections. The resolution listed the many groups of disenfranchised communities...Well, except for one.... Care to guess? (I guess the authors of the resolution has not heard about the disenfranchisement of lesbians and gays in Alabama.)
Fortunately, one of the committee members moved to add "sexual orientation." Perhaps he caught wind of this.
I've heard Chris Dodd, John Edwards, and Wesley Clark all speak. Of course any one of these folks or any of those who have not yet spoken are better than the current bunch of homophobes at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
