Our first general session ended just minutes ago.  Delegates are off for our Night Out in Dallas, enjoying local restaurants and soaking up some local flava.

Trainings, internal meetings, and caucuses continued.  In our trainings, we organized delegates for live action to call their Senators to help defeat a bad amendment to the College Cost Reducation Act (we won!).

At general session, we heard from Jim Hightower, former Texas Agricultural Commissioner, who kicked off the night with a kick-ass and take names speech filled with Texas humor.  State Representative Garnet Coleman, Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club, and James Bernard, Campaign Coordinator for SEIU, also spoke to delegates about the young voter revolution!

And Allison Gallaway, wife of outgoing President Chris Gallaway, gave a touching speech about Chris' leadership of YDA.

Schedule note for tomorrrow:  Senator John Edwards is now speaking at the 7:00pm general session tomorrow night.  And General Clark will be speaking at the 12:00pm community service project.
