Governor Dean puts forth "Commonsense for A New Century"

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.?
Thomas Paine

Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that would light the fire that forged our nation. He called it “Common Sense.?Passed from hand to hand, patriot to patriot, it was a call to action for those Americans who believed their government had to change. It spelled out the values of a new republic. And King George III—who had forgotten his own people in favor of special interests—was replaced by a government of, by and for the people. America was born.

Like those early patriots, we face a growing threat to our liberty and justice in America today. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison spoke of the fear that economic power would one day seize political power.

That fear is now being realized—under the Bush administration, pharmaceutical companies draft our Medicare laws. Oil executives sit in the Vice President’s office and write energy bills. A majority of the reconstruction contracts in Iraq goes to corporations headed by campaign contributors to the president.

I think it's awesome, and offers a very hopeful vision of America.

Of the American Revolution.

And Bush is the perfect foil as King George.

It's amazing how well the campaign is using the imagery of the American Revolution---it helps galvanize voters such as myself since we have Bush as the modern-day "King George"

does he have a decent singing voice?

It's an outreach! They'll pass them out at the meet ups tonight. Ten people are supposed to sign each one with the tenth returning it to the campaign.

And it is beautifully written. I just can't read that kind of stuff without getting choked up!

:-)

It's gorgeous!

Hard to believe but true....

If every American read that, Dean would win 2-1 over Bush.

it's all about state organizations, strategizing, and getting the vote out.
