The past week was like a roller coaster ride. Delegates, visitors, panelists, participants, coalition partners, members of Congress and the press were coming and going at Progressive Central all through the day, followed by meetings at night—punctuated by moments of calm.
With the whirlwind of activity, I was unable to take in the breadth and scope of what we have accomplished together since our emergence in the midst of the 2004 DNC Convention. During the seven-hour drive back to my home in Utah, I had a lot of time to think. We’ve come a long way in four years!
It was no easy task to pull this off. We did it and we did it because of you! Your work, your tenacity, your commitment to PDA really does matter, and it really makes a difference. We have their attention—the party, the media, and our elected officials—they all know who PDA is and what we stand for!
I want to share these links with you, so you can begin to share in the experience, too:

We still have a lot of work to do—electing Barack Obama and a governing progressive majority. But for now, pat yourself on the back, then take a deep breath and plunge back in—the next four years are going to be a wild ride!
