STEP BACK!
An e-mail arrives from John Kerry HQ:
There are moments in our work together when it’s important to step back, look each other in the eye, and decide what to do next.
Vote for George Bush again?
This is one of those moments.
Okay. Stepping back. Looking you in the eye. Hit me, Mr. Seabiscuit.
The Republican Party’s leaders have set America on an extraordinarily dangerous path. We are no longer just debating the merits of one policy over another. It’s far more fundamental than that. The far right seems set on a path that challenges the fundamentals of how we make our democracy work best for all of us.
Am I standing far enough back?
I can’t literally sit in your living room and talk about what’s going on and how we need to rise to the occasion.
You can’t? You CAN’T? (crying)
So, I’ve chosen the next best thing, recording a video message that I hope each and every member of the johnkerry.com community will take the time to watch.
Here it is. For all of you in the johnkerry.com community. (Note the compassionate head-tilt above! Give the man a sign!)
