Michelle Obama at the DNC

For those who missed Michelle Obama's great speech at the Democratic National Convention -- or who wish to relive it:

How are YOU celebrating the new era of change? You may leave us YOUR suggestion(s) to share with others BUT we have TWO ideas

In Sunnyside, some of us WQIDC members are going to Bliss Bistro on Tuesday evening, Jan. 20, to celebrate and toast Barack Obama's inauguration. Your are welcome to JOIN US:

BLISSful Sunnyside Celebration
Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009
7 PM

Dinner and one drink and a lot of GREAT COMPANY
(And we hope to replay some key moments by computer connection.)
Price to be determined by # RSVP-ing ($30 to 35 is Dorothy's guestimate)
Bliss Bistro -- 46th & Skillman, Sunnyside
Hosted by Dorothy Morehead and Kate Anne Brennan

And another suggestion is Living Liberally 's Sunday evening Inaugural Ball:

The Living Liberally Inaugural Ball
Sunday, January 18th - 8pm
Rush - 6th Avenue @ 16th Street, Manhattan

Three floor dance party; special guests; drink specials all night and the first drink on us; the Inaugural energy right here in New York.

...and help support Living Liberally -- our chapters around the country, in conservative areas as well as progressive centers, gave liberals a way to engage and take action this election season. Help us grow to keep the liberal community going in a new administration.

We'll also be "Feeding Liberally" -- that is, collecting food for local foodbanks as part of a national Drinking Liberally effort to donate to pantries across the country. So bring your dancing shoes and a few canned goods.

(Attire is whatever you make of it -- there will be people in suits and gowns, and others dressed down to get down)

Support the Candidate(s) of Your Choice

The not-so-leftist media is judging the Presidential candidates by money raised and to a lesser extent number of donors. Money buys commercials and until we get campaign finance reform some of it is a necessary evil. NOW is when your money will have more impact and even a small donation helps. Volunteer efforts are important too. Check into the campaign(s) of your choice and make a positive difference. WQIDC members are encouraged to leave a comment here to let us know who you are currently supporting and what you are doing. For your convenience, here are the Democratic candidates:

Joe Biden -- www.JoeBiden.com

Hillary Clinton -- www.hillaryclinton.com

Chris Dodd -- www.chrisdodd.com
