The Young Dem Agenda

Tonight at YDA...

A very enthusiastic crowd, welcomed by outgoing prez David Hardt... Speech by NY prez Matt Silverstein... NY delegation properly seated at the front, holla.

The buzz issues are marriage equality, passing Obama's health care bill, sustainable energy, women in leadership.

Most moving were speeches by two exceptional soldiers that were forced out by Don't Ask Don't Tell - Stacy Vasquez, who fought her case all the way to the Supreme Court and lost, and Alex Nicholson, who speaks 5 languages including Arabic and was kicked out six months after 9/11 just because he's gay. Guys, this is so wrong; this bullshit should not be going on in 2009, I hope you actively agree.
