In her latest post, she updates the state of the battle and shares her reaction to a standing ovation at the NPE conference, where the first Annual Phyllis Bush Award for Grassroots Activism was snnounced. For one brief moment, surrounded by family and friends who love her, she was speechless.
But not for long!

“As you have probably noticed, I am used to getting attention as a smart-ass, but getting attention (and a standing ovation) for something like an award in my name was unexpected and mind-blowing, and I am still at a loss for words for what this meant to me.”
Phyllis, you are the type of ‘smart ass’ that I admire. You are a fantastic person who fights for all of us. Thank you!!! [I live in Indiana.]

Nice post, Phyllis. It certainly holds more valuable to me than 1,000 of the asinine tweets written by our so-called “commander in chief.” And, I love the picture of you getting the ovation at the conference. Congratulations.
