I really wish that I had had the opportunity to go to one of the rallies. Unfortunately, I live many, many hours from the closest one.

But, I just wanted to applaud you and anyone else that made it to the rallies. ESPECIALLY the non-immigrants who support the immigrants. I know that it can be hard to view human rights as more important than American rights, but I really think that everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... not just those of us lucky enough to be born in the USA.

So here's my virtual ¡Sí se puede! and ¡Adelante! and ¡Derechos por todos! Wish I could have been there. :-)

Thanks Erin!

Human rights really are more important than American rights -- if we don't work towards rights for all people its only a matter of time before our own rights will disappear, and that can happen quickly as we have seen since Bush took office.

I only know a handful of Spanish words- what does "Derechos por todos" mean?
