While you are waiting for the next vote

I walked up to the Members' Lounge, and the scene was amazing. Hundreds of people, gay and straight, crowded around with their signs and stickers while some sang "God Bless America" (before that they sang My Country Tis of Thee, the Star Spangled Banner, and America the Beautiful).

I entered into the Lounge and said hello to Representative Walsh, who gave his first ever speech on the House floor today. It was a pretty good one, so I congradulated him. It looks like the Senate and House leadership just offered their next compromise admendment. Stay Tuned.
