Dear Cynthia, (http://www.democracyforamerica.com/)
Montana, one of the reddest states, has a new Democratic governor.
First-time candidates for state legislatures from Hawaii to Connecticut beat
incumbent Republicans.
And a record number of us voted to change course -- more Americans voted
against George Bush than any sitting president in history.
Today is not an ending.
Regardless of the outcome yesterday, we have begun to revive our democracy.
While we did not get the result we wanted in the presidential race, we laid
the groundwork for a new generation of Democratic leaders.
_Democracy for America_ (http://www.democracyforamerica.com/) trained
thousands of organizers and brought new leadership into the political process. And
down the ballot, in state after state, we elected Dean Dozen candidates who
will be the rising stars of the Democratic Party in years ahead.
Tens of millions of us are disappointed today because we put so much of
ourselves into this election. We donated money, we talked to friends, we knocked
on doors. We invested ourselves in the political process.
That process does not end today. These are not short-term investments. We
will only create lasting change if that sense of obligation and responsibility
becomes a permanent part of our lives.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become
silent about things that matter."
We will not be silent.
Thank you for everything you did for our cause in this election. But we are
not stopping here.
Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
