NGLTF Executive Director Rea Carey presented the annual State of the Movement address today at the 22nd Creating Change conference in Dallas, Texas. The speech was a real barnburner that brought the crowd to their feet multiple times as Carey called out Congress and President Obama to show "what a 'fierce advocate' could do."

Full text of Carey's speech after the jump. I'll put up the video as soon as they get it on YouTube, but this is a speech well worth reading and digesting every word. The speech was also taped by CSPAN for later airing.
