"California Senator Barbara Boxer remarked that 100 years ago they’d have been meeting outside the White House gates to demand the right to vote. (“A hundred years ago, I’d have been serving you,” Obama replied."

100 years ago it was women's suffrage, demanding our right to vote. Obama, he would only been the butler. We have come far yet we are far from done in this fight.

I agree Grimes (D) Kentucky for Senate. Katherine Clark (D) Mass for Congress. More to come I hope.

Thanks again for the great picture~ Moving America Forward.
