I suppose like the rest of you freedom-lovers, I'm still up watching the news of the election in Iraq -- 3am EST! I cannot begin to express the pride and the joy I feel tonight as I watch the reports coming in on the elections that our brave men and women in uniform, along with our brave Commander-in-Chief of course, brought to fruition today. God bless all of our troops and all of the brave Iraqis who are voting today. Please keep them all safe from harm on this very special day in history.
By the way, Spirit of America (www.spiritofamerica.net) is planning to broadcast video and pictures today from the elections. CSPAN is planning a TV broadcast of the Spirit of America news from 2-4pm EST today. The folks behind Friends of Democracy (www.friendsofdemocracy.org) will be blogging from Iraq on the events during the election today as well. Anyone else in need of a 12-step program for news junkies?...
Go get 'em, Iraqis!!!
As a fellow freeper who will sleep through Sunday...I say "right on!"
Confess I am still up. I'm going to pay for it throughout the day. LOL Cannot turn away from watching these people put their mark on their right to Liberty no matter the personal threat they face.
I have so much admiration for them. Our troops and coalition forces, their families, Iraqi forces, Our President and our strong world allies, and especially the Iraqi people have done something truly remarkable. I am just joyful and humbled to play a small role in support from the safety of my home.
If anybody happens to find any pictures on blogs, or any pictures that are royalty-free, let me know. I would like to put some on the college newspaper website.
But, we do not get the AP wire, so we can't just rip a picture from them and run it...could get sued.
