Thinking of Dorothy Day born 101 years ago today

Dorothy Day (1897-1980)
Ms. Day first went to jail with a group of suffragists in 1917 who were demonstrating at the White House in favor of giving women voting rights. She went to jail four times from 1955 to 1959 for acts of civil disobedience. Her last jailing was in 1969 at the age of 76 while protesting with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers in California.

7. I struggled more.

I am the product of two Republicans. (Go figure)

I got a really great gift from my 82 year old parents on election night. They have NEVER voted for a Democrat. It has been a difficult 8 years in our family relations!

Here is my gift! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqJutqE9FtY (turn on your speakers)

It has been a long, long road to that "Yes We Can" in their voices.

God knows I tried. I thought my Mom was persuadable, at first, until her rethug friends bombarded her with Right Wing Nut emails. ARGH! :grr:
