BOGers.

Thank you BOG.

I have met so many amazing people at DU. On GD and most importantly the BOG.

You are amazing. There is a wealth of information that is posted here. It encompasses education, global warming, Obamacare, the economy, VAWA, gay rights, women's rights and so many more issues that demand our focus.

The important word here, is that we focus. We do not become fixated on one issue. Will change happen at a snap of the finger, no it will not. Will we have to take baby steps to make things happen, yes sometimes we do. Change does not happen overnight. If you believe that you do not understand the true history of this nation. You must stand up to be heard every single day. We are fighting battles for women's rights and voting rights all over again. It will not end unless we stand to make it right once again.

We promote our rights as citizens to stand up and vote. We promote GOTV 2014! We have no plan to step aside and let our rights be taken from us. We vote!

We laugh here at the BOG. We have fun, we post awesome pictures. We celebrate!

Many laugh at us for that, however, IMHO it makes us stronger. It gives us the outlet for our grief in a world that just seems to go mad sometimes.

Thank you BOG Together we stand.

Mahalo, she.. one thing especially I need to be reminded of.. and that's the "f" word.

Focus! Not let myself get distracted by things that have absolutely nothing to do with the Progress that the Obama Administration has accomplished and will continue to do with our help. It's always been YES WE CAN! for a reason. It's not just a slogan.

Look how far we've come since 2009! A-Mazing! In spite all the enemies of the good. The Good has come shining through! And, who's responsible for that? President Obama and all his supporters in his Admin and throughout our country. Strong resilient people who don't get down because others mock and throw insults at our President and his supporters.

I appreciate all that's been done for our country and its people since Obama became President..

Some people seemed to think that happened on its own.. but, no.. it took a lot of hard work by many many dedicated people throughout our country who have had the President's back.

"Here’s a List of 212 Obama Accomplishments, With Citations!"

http://pleasecutthecrap.com/what-has-obama-done-since-january-20-2009/

This is just a list since Jan 2013.. But, all we have to do is look at the BOG and see what's been added this year.

I appreciate all you do for the BOG, she!
