For the first time in two years, I feel hope. HOPE. Since 2015, when Trump gained momentum, I began to have a sick feeling inside that I haven't been able to shake. Yesterday, however, proved for the first time since Trump took office that if we work together, we can achieve anything. With the Democrats taking the House, and so many amazing firsts, not to mention we managed to flip formerly red districts, I am left with hope and an awakening in my heart to get to work and FIGHT for what I believe in. Beto O'Rourke almost flipped TEXAS. People are stepping up, amazing candidates have emerged, and if we rally together, strategize properly, and TAKE ACTION, we can do this. P.S. Back to Beto O'Rourke, though--I hope he runs for President. P.S.S. He does not accept a dime from Political Action Committees (PAC funds). P.S.S.S. He's the real deal.
And because she can say it so much better than I ever could:
"Thank you to every single one of you who made your voice heard, volunteered, and reached out to your neighbors. You proved that we have the power to change this country--and that every single vote counts. Now it's up to us to keep building this movement. We've only just begun . . ." --Michelle Obama
