Jimmy Cliff
On Friday, January 16, Helen and I took the metro to the Capitol. She arranged a private tour of the Capitol Building and the new visitor center. The tour included a visit to Senator Levin's hideaway office, which was formerly John Glenn's office (yes, that John Glenn). From the office window we saw workers setting up the stage where Barack will give his speech on Tuesday.
The senate was in session, so we slipped in to see Sen. Maria Cantwell from the great state of WA delivering a pitch for funding of smart cars, smart energy grids and manufacturing incentives for green businesses. We caught her in the act of genuinely representing the interests of WA residents. Unbelieveable.
After eating lunch in the Senate cafeteria, we headed over to the Library of Congress, and then checked out the US Botanic Garden.
I'm grateful to be in DC with the millions of other supporters. I can't wait to attend the We Are One concert tomorrow.
