"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.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. And they will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks and months to come.

We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

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. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation: Yes, we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights: Yes, we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness: Yes, we can.

It was the call of workers who organized, women who reached for the ballot, a president who chose the moon as our new frontier, and a king who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the promised land: Yes, we can, to justice and equality.

Yes, we can, to opportunity and prosperity. Yes, we can heal this nation. Yes, we can repair this world. Yes, we can.

...

Together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story, with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea: Yes, we can."

Everyone who is reading this:

You are Invited to a special acoustic performance by Darling Violetta at my apartment on Friday, April 23rd, at 7:30pm

Darling Violetta is the band who wrote the gorgeous theme song to the show 'Angel' on the WB. They also performed on Buffy the Vampire Slayer live in Season 3.

Due to dianagodessa's plea for a concert this weekend, as she is visiting Los Angeles, Cami Elen, the lead singer of DV got in touch with me over doing a living room show...and apparently, thats what we're doing.

SO! If you're ready, willing, and able, e-mail me at alantie_hflb@hotmail.com, and I'll give you directions to my place so you can come enjoy Cami's beautiful voice and Jymm's awesome guitar playing. And then maybe party with us afterwards.

(anyone who knows of any other DV fans in the area who would be interested in attending, please spread the word and have them get in touch with me.)
