When Bill Bradley visited here in 2000, he asked the crowd in Joe Edward’s Blueberry Hill what was their dream. My answer is intertwined with the man who set-up that event for Bill Bradley, Jeff Smith.
My dream is an America that includes all Americans whatever their race, their gender or their sexual orientation. My dream is an America that leads the world through moral suasion and not deception. My dream is an America that believes conserving our resources is an intergenerational contract and not a short term profit for the connected. My dream is an America where my daughters and wife have control of their own bodies. My dream is an America where our urban schools are incubators of hope and not wharehouses of despair. My dream is an America where health care is available to all, not just to those who are lucky.
If your dreams are similar, there is a way to help. The 1st quarter fundraising is coming to an end tomorrow. If you believe as I do, give to Jeff Smith today so he can remain competitive in a crowded field of competitors. He is the candidate who can best deliver our dreams of a progressive nation that seeks to build on our hope for the future and not the cynicism of making do. Donate today!
UPDATE: Justin points out after donating to Jeff give to Obama too. That is a good idea as well, but Jeff is facing a reporting deadline that will help to determine viability. So plan to do both!
