To all those who worked so hard and cared so much,
Today is a sad occasion for all who believe in our vision of America.
We'll likely be very tough on ourselves and each other -- but I hope not too tough.
We want to strengthen our party and our ability to compete in the next election
and the one after that. So we need to show each other some appreciation, too, to
keep it all in perspective.
I'll be listening to their views - and to yours. It will take time, effort, and honesty
to sort out the lessons. But I hope you'll be there as we do so.
Thanks again for standing beside me over the many months. We've got a lot left
to do, so stick with me in the weeks and months ahead!
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are ...a few... Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." ~ President Eisenhower, Nov. 8 1954
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
~ George Orwell
