I got video/audio of my AFSCME speech in DC up on YouTube finally

[Ava]

I know it took forever, but I had forgotten to put it up until I came across the footage the other day. I had two hours of footage but edited it down to less than 5 mins of clips. crappy editing i know but it was done quickly.. the main reason that i threw this together was so i can show it to colleges.. because i hear it could help me since i want to double major with political science. ;)

Some clips from the 2007 AFSCME Leadership Conference in Washington DC. I gave a speech and then participated in a forum moderated by Donna Brazile. The day after I spoke the presidential candidates all participated in a forum moderated by Chris Matthews. I was able to go back stage and meet candidates which was a really cool experience! The person who went with me followed me around with my camera that day and played documentary journalist, lol. Most of the time the camera was on me I didn't know.
