The rally was suppose to start at 12:00, so we got downtown at 9:15 and stood in line for about an hour in the freezing cold. It was great that we got there early because they had so many people come out that they turned people away. Even with that the coliseum was packed, about 12,000 people.
He was so inspiring. He challenged people to take responsibility for the current crisis. Not just blame our problems on the government, but take responsibility for the things we have caused ourselves. We have our own part to play in improving our children's education by being there to turn off the TV and help them with their homework. We have to take responsibility for the energy we consume, the cars we choose to buy, and the lights we choose to not turn off. He made me feel more than ever that I have a part to play in making this a better country and a better world.
It is nice to know that I still make a difference.
