Pictures of my trip to the DNC

Here are a few more pictures of Judy and I on our trip to the Democratic National Convention

DNC in Charlotte

I just returned from the DNC. What a week. I felt like I was dropped into a science fiction movie. The crush of people rushing about clutching their smart phones in one hand. The noise and lights on the Convention Floor. Security was really tight. My credentials said Honored Guest and I did not really understand what that meant except everywhere we went people treated us very well. Doors opened people smiled and were so nice. We thought that this must be the southern hospitality we heard about at first. Then we noticed the ribbon holding our passes was different from other people and there were a lot of different badges. Our badges were getting us this special treatment and it was nice.
Judy and I worked for OFA and Missa Eaton and the DNC rewarded us for our efforts. We were guests in a lovely hotel and met a lot of famous Senators and Congressmen and Women. Our days were very long and we did a lot of walking but it was a life changing experience. We came home FIRED UP and READY to GO. We are back to phone banking and daily meetings or political actions of one kind or another. I pledged to wear a political Tee shirt or button everywhere till the election. 58 more days. We have to win this one.
