I didn’t go to the memorial, but watched the whole thing on TV. It was riveting. The liberal tradition in Minnesota did not die with Senator Wellstone. It’s still here. We still matter. Rick Kahn delivered a moving, unabashedly political speech exhorting everyone to help win the election for Paul.Wellstone. The Republicans will whine tomorrow about free airtime. Let them. They’re still not done milking 9-11 for every last drop of political opportunity.
To echo Senator Harkin’s speech tonight, say yes to social and economic justice. Say yes to tolerance and diversity. Say yes to clean air and water. Say yes to affordable housing and a living wage.
Say yes to peace.
Heather, I love you. Let’s take on the world.
Peace,
Mark
