Senator Jon Tester: My Remarks to the Twenty-First Century Democrats
My Remarks to the Twenty-First Century Democrats

Last night, I had the pleasure of speaking to the Twenty-First Century Democrats Annual Dinner. Twenty-First Century Democrats is a great organization, and I was proud to receive their endorsement last year. The highlight of the evening was the Paul and Sheila Wellstone award being presented to Jerome Armstrong for his work developing the netroots.

I wanted to share my remarks with you and also thank you all again for your support and assistance to me last year.




Sen. Jon Tester

21st Century Democrats Annual Dinner
April 25, 2007
Washington, DC



I haven't been to many of these fancy Washington dinners - we call them suppers at home - but they're a little different out here. There's less meat, more lettuce, and it costs ten times as much. I haven't actually priced a head of lettuce out here and we bring our own meat from the farm, but those heads of lettuce must be pretty expensive out here...


I understand some of you paid over a thousand dollars to come to this dinner tonight. You know, for that kind of money I've got a neighbor at home who can set you up with an entire calf... double it and he'll probably sell you half his farm.
