Last night, in a factory in North Carolina, tension was high. I had the only Internet capable phone and was constantly asked, "What's happening in Massachusetts?"
One co-worker had told his sister-in-law to watch the election results and make an 'emergency' call to him to let him know who won. We were all pulling for Scott Brown.
Thanks to Twitter and a text from my husband, who was following the results for me on FNC, we knew Coakley had conceded moments after it happened. We passed the word...
A cheer went up from the factory floor of that North Carolina plant. Employee's held hands and did "happy-dances" in the isles between machines.
Congratulations Scott.
Your victory signaled to us that there is hope that we can turn our government around before its too late. We can run a revolution at the ballot box instead of in the streets (a fear many of us have held for awhile now).
Today, finally, we do have hope that there will be change. . . the change we want. A return to the conservative values that made our country great. A return to a nation that rewards hard work and productivity instead of promoting government handouts, a nation that is second to none in our military, a nation that can and will stand alone in the world as a beacon of hope to all peoples.
We on the factory floors now know that our grassroots efforts can and will succeed to rid our great land of the blight and corruption that has entwined itself in Washington for far too long.
God Bless the Revolution. God Bless the United States of America!
