I think I mentioned in my BlogHer post that I was privileged to be part of a group of about 25 political bloggers that got to meet with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York...
...I was privileged, because I don't think I've contributed a post to the MOMocrats all year.
However, while so many of us were gathered together in New York, I was tasked with getting video footage of as many of them as possible. This is one of the reasons I enjoyed my 2010 BlogHer experience so much, because I love these women, for how they write and who they are. And I left New York determined to contribute more to the site.
Anyway, I ended up tagging along with the MOMos and found myself among a group of bloggy superstars (which included BlogHer co-founder Lisa Stone and Morra Aarons of Women and Work, Anita Jackson of MomsRising.org, Emily McKhann, one of the women behind TheMotherhood.com, and Jill Miller Zimon of Writes Like She Talks, who's followed through on what she says by actually running for local elective office -- and winning).
I didn't say much. I just pointed the camcorder at whoever was speaking and hoped I'd like the results.
I finally got around to looking at the footage I shot yesterday... and was pleased to discover that most of it doesn't suck.
That's good, because today is Equality Day -- the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, extending women the right to vote -- and I just knew I'd caught the Senator on tape with something really good to say. And it inspired me to write a post... which you can view here over at MOMocrats.
