Have the Inauguration Day blues?

Maggie says:
I just heard about two local events for progressives this Inauguration Day. If your plans for the Inauguration ceremonies include throwing up or crawling into a hole, you might want to consider bonding with other Blues at local events in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, thanks to sponsor organization I'm Blue. In Albuquerque, check out the I'm Blue Mobilization Event from 6-9 in the La Posada ballrooms. The Santa Fe event is the Funeral for Democracy, which begins at noon at the Roundhouse.

Here's an excerpt from the I'm Blue Manifesto: "We have declared Inauguration Day as a National Day of Mourning and Solidarity. We mourn the loss of civil discourse in elections, the loss of a fair, balanced and questioning mass media, the defeat of common sense by ideology, the loss of constitutional rights, the defeat of truth by lies, the absence of a verifiable and reliable election system, and most importantly, the loss of our brave soldiers in Iraq in a war whose justifications keep changing every day. We celebrate an election that brought together 57 million people who still stand for civil rights, civil liberties, human rights, tolerance, free speech, freedom from religion in the political realm, freedom to practice religion in the private realm, spiritual values, secular values, family values that include all families, and helping those living the American nightmare to achieve the American Dream. We honor those who believe that avenging 9/11 did not involve attacking a country that had nothing to do with that horrific event. We respect those who do not think killing innocent Iraqi civilians is the way to save them. We pray for our young soldiers thrust into a hell not of their making. We celebrate protecting the environment for future generations, putting the interest of people over the interest of corporations, making sure seniors can retire in peace without worrying about Social Security and health insurance, and creating a peaceful world for our children."

Their slogan? "We will be vigilant."
