Kerry, Democrats on Hand for Inaugural
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/inaugural_democrats

<snip>
From Kerry, a bit of a shrug was the response when he was, as Bush took the oath of office, how he was doing. The senator and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, chatted with others on the inaugural platform, and he later attended the congressional luncheon.


Rather than attend inaugural balls in the evening, Kerry gathered close family and friends at his Georgetown home for dinner.


While civility was the public demeanor at the inauguration, many Democrats made it clear that once the president's big day was over, the battle will begin anew.


Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said he is hoping that the partisan rancor and squabbling of the past four years will give way to a more cooperative tone. "I am optimistic and confident today can be a new beginning, but it can only be a new beginning if that tone will carry forward," he said.

2. Alright, ChiciB1! Love it!
:bounce:

I wrote in another forum that I wore black to work, brought my lunch (not one damn dime), watched the protests on CSPAN-2 and turned my back on Bush when his motorcade drove by.

3. Good Job!
But I guess we're alone here. I didn't have time to check messages today due to lots of running around. I'm so glad there was the PROTEST and C-Span 2 covered it.

I'm coming to D.C. on March 19th for that demonstration! I wanted to get there for the one yesterday, but decided on March instead. We can keep the drum-beat going, and since I live in Florida it will be getting very warm in March. The cooler D.C. weather will keep me pumped!
