This was on the Dean blog and I thought I would pass it along for anyone who is interested.
"Personally, I would love to see a real celebration of hope at solstice time, one which could be shared by all those who are working towards the end of the "Bush winter". Especially with the recent events (the capture of Saddam Hussein), it would be wonderful to see a clear, positive expression of hope and unity.
I'm thinking something along the lines of the candle light vigils that took place around the world before the war in Iraq. But the focus, rather than protesting any one thing--saying what we are against--would be our shared hope that we can do better.
This year, Winter Solstice takes place on Monday, December 22. It would be nice to find a way to come together with other Democrats, or others who want to do better than George W. Bush, in a celebration of unity and hope. It does not even have to be specific to the United States--our overseas readers and commenters (who are also in the northern hemisphere) could be involved as well. "
