I've never been anyone's groupie, the only celebrity deaths that have ever really saddened me were those of Luciano Pavarotti and Beverly Sills. But last month, on March 1st, I sat down to do my daily reading of the BIGS, and learned that Andrew Breitbart had suddenly passed away the previous night. And then I went through all of the stages of grief as if he had been a close friend. I cried for days. Not just for the loss of such a giant, but for the blow it is to our country's future. No one will be able to fill his shoes.
Breitbart would want us to continue where he left off--to hold journalists accountable for biased reporting, to confront hypocrisy, and to simply stand up for the rights and freedoms that are being eroded. I haven't found the courage to step into the fray in a public way, but I did buy this shirt!
