(657 posts)But things feel very different. The GOP's tricks didn't work, they are in shock. Petreous, Karl Rove unraveling, OWS buying people's debt, the list goes on, we've crossed over, now we have to push ahead big time, no going back now.
I don't know about the video, didn't work for me. Will try it again later

(23,424 posts)I'm copying and pasting what I just posted in reply to FWWM in my other thread here in ASAH, regarding the FEMA petition.
It's only been TEN DAYS, and it was as though it was meant to be...it was smooth sailing all the way (though I was braced for a lot of work to "get it out there" now that the election is behind us). BAM!!!
Next community organizing project coming up!!!
Part-time emergency employees deployed to assist in Superstorm Sandy relief efforts have won federal health benefits, the Office of Personnel Management announced Friday.
The Office of Personnel Management is issuing an interim final rule, obtained by Government Executive, to expand the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program to part-time workers with FEMA, known as reservists. The rule takes effect immediately.
The announcement comes after an online petition requesting the benefits received nearly 100,000 signatures in the 10 days since it was launched.
A May Government Accountability Office report found that reservists, who make up 57 percent of FEMAs workforce, do not receive any federal health benefits. When many of these reservists -- also known as disaster assistance employees -- were deployed in support of Sandy relief, Dena Patrick decided to take action.
The disaster assistance employees serve two-year appointments and are paid only when deployed.
Patrick -- founder of Wishadoo!, a grass-roots community organizing website -- thought FEMA employees who have been on the front lines in areas devastated by Sandy -- knocking on doors, delivering mobile homes and supervising the disbursement of more than $250 million in grants to those affected by the storm -- had earned their benefits and launched a campaign on their behalf.

And I just LOVE that they referred to Wishadoo! as a "grassroots community organizing website"!!!

(713 posts)ARRIVED. I've been getting incredible information on this all week. Something "clicked", we turned a corner, last week. Collectively we "answered" a long standing question and that question was, "Will you choose Love of fear?" Even though critical mass for the shift was reached months ago, this past week was a huge tipping point into a much higher frequency. Onward and upward as they say!

AHA!
I found it, it's so Neptunian!
Neptunian is stationary; it went "direct" this morning. Like stopping an aircraft carrier and reversing course. Massive.

It's showtime folks.
I want this good feeling to stay put for...forever!

This hilarious(the drag section)/serious song by QUEEN captures my feeling. The resident Ph.D. astrophysicist is in a pink nightie and curlers!!

(10,327 posts)that Rmoney didn't win with "all the polls," etc. It is delicious. Yet I can't help but feel that I need to help bring the light to those who are in darkness. They are so deluded, feel so betrayed by those who they have trusted to impart wisdom, information since the last election. What is to become of Glen Beck, Fux Nooz, Rush, Hanity, Ann Coulter, Billo, et. al. My hope is they will gradually just become redundant.
I honestly feel for them. Their world just changed , they are hurt and confused. But I know it is in their best interest. My sister works for the board of Ed, she voted for Romney, she has no idea the bullet she dodged. I feel for her.
