"Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty, Free at last."
"...This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
We have a mandate from all of those who supported us and who we care about to continue standing up for progressive causes, and we have values -- because that's the way we were raised -- not to relent until we eventually win. ...
This is surely the letter I least want to write. I am devastated that we will not see John Kerry and John Edwards in the White House. But, my friends, we've learned some important things here. We made a difference! We delivered Wisconsin for John Kerry!....
Today is the day! There are two important things you can do: 1st, Vote early, if you haven't already voted! 2nd, Get out the vote for John Kerry and John Edwards and other Democratic candidates.
If you can travel (and you are not already in Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan…), please come to Wisconsin! ....
I'm in Milwaukee with 1000s of other Chicagoans. People are flying in from California, D.C., London -- yes, London -- and other areas of the country to help Kerry win Wisconsin. Kerry must win Wisconsin. If you can come to Wisconsin-Milwaukee, please do so. Wisconsin is ground zero.. ....
Several Chicago volunteers drove out to Toledo, Ohio this weekend to do all we could to help Kerry in this battleground state. Most of our efforts were working GOTV phone banks for Kerry/Edwards. Volunteers from California, Indiana, New York, Idaho, DC and Massachusetts were there as well to boost campaign efforts in Toledo. ....
There was a HUGE Canvass today. When we drove up there appeared to about 75 people gathered with several smaller groups of 10-15 joining throughout the morning. Those returning proudly reported "It's still Kerry".
The national Kerry advance team called us a week before the event to try to pump up turnout from the Chicago area. At the time, they had hoped a showing of 40-50k would make the national news. Instead a whopping 85k turned out.. ....

Exit the Landing Craft and Proceed to the Shore (10/26)
by Leo Klein
With 7 days left till the general election, an image comes to mind. It's an image of G.I.'s from WWII sitting in their landing craft, bobbing up and down, about to hit the shore. Perhaps this image owes more to Hollywood than to real life but it illustrates the critical moment that we're at in the current campaign. ....
I would like to keep it very simple. This is it. We are in the last eight days to fulfill our dreams, yours and mine.
As many of you know, from DuPage County, I along with Bob Wagner, Nancy Young, Bryan Thompson and Krystle Newquist have been with this campaign from the very beginning. Checkout the picture above from the initial days of campaign. ....
