During my "Transition in the Borderlands" trip I stopped back in Tucson for a couple days on my way from San Diego to El Paso. On the day after Obama's inauguration, I went down to the federal building to check out a "first 100 days" rally that Border Action Network was putting on.

Video Postcard to OBAMA (abridged)

VideoObama.mp4

Here it is! Our Video Postcard to OBAMA (much shorter of course). On January 17th this year we had a great event over at Pan Left to celebrate Obama's inauguration and there was almost 2 and 1/2 hours of footage! This version I managed to whittle down to 5 and 1/2 minutes so you all can see some of what everyone had to say. We'll send the Prez both versions cut and un-cut on the DVD. Thanks for everyone who came out! We'll see how the next 4 years go.

Michael Chertoff Retirement Party, Tucson

Tucson activists get together to celebrate the end of the Bush administration and Michael Chertoff's tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security.

As head of DHS Chertoff used his powers granted to him by Section 102 of the Real ID Act to waive dozens of federal laws in order to build new sections of border fence, ignoring environmental, cultural, economic, and political consequences.

President Obama, the first hours, ahhhh...

That does feel good to wake up in the morning and know Bush is gone baby gone, and within the few first hours of Prez Obama you hear this kind of news,
" Obama has already begun a series of official acts. His administration has asked for a suspension of Guantanamo trials for detainees so it could review the cases and the procedures. A federal court approved the request this morning.

Obama also ordered federal agencies to freeze any action on federal regulations promulgated in the Bush administration's waning days so that they could be reviewed as well." - LA Times

SAVE THE DATE TO CELEBRATE!
