| After days (weeks) of jumping through technological hurdles, we've bade i to and through the 1st Day of DemocracyFest. Today is the 2nd and last day.
I missed all but a couple of minutes of every speaker, but Odum's coverage allows me to "see" them vicariously. but that means I can't give any cool accounts of "Encounters with Greatness." We do have one of the most compelling speakers of the event coming up tonight, just before Dean (note, the rest of the event requires a ticket). In 2004 Carlos Arredondo answered the door to find two men in uniform - waiting to tell him his son was dead. Alex had gone to Iraq and would never return home. Carlos asked them to leave, and they refused. Learn abou Alex, about Carlos and Melida's (Alex's step mom) wonderful son, and their ongoing mission to end the conflict in Iraq. |
