Let's party like it's 2009

Tonight we celebrate our new president and the end of the national nightmare that was the Bush administration.

We have been successful in blocking two anti-choice ballot initiatives tonight. South Dakota and Colorado have defeated measures that would restrict a woman's right to choose.

I think we can safely say we're the only major U.S. company that has spent the last eight years fighting the Bush administration on the defining issues of our day. The Iraq war. Choice. Global warming. Civil and economic rights. Our 2008 voter registration, voter turnout and voter protection efforts began on Nov. 3, 2004.

We've been preparing for this day for a long time. And yet we still await two crucial votes in our home state of California.

Prop 4 would take away a young woman's right to choose. Prop 8 would take the right to marry away from gay couples.

So while we still wait for results on Prop 4 and 8 (and many other races across the country), we're ready to party like it's 2009. We hope you'll join us.
