Changing The Face Of Politics
When John Kerry reached out to his supporters yesterday online, he let them all know that they had changed the face of politics with their grassroots activism.
The internet has proved to be a driving force in the discussion of politics. Never before have so many people had so many avenues to discuss politics. All across this country people are hungry for change and committed to carrying out the work that so many started who had never been activists before.
Yesterday, reaching out to his many supporters across the the country, John Kerry asked that they join him in his continued fight "against George Bush's extreme policies" while we "also uphold our own values."
In a brilliant move to mobilize his grassroots supporters into action, Kerry urged supporters to sign a petition for healthcare for children; a petition that will be the first "bill co-sponsored by hundreds of thousands of Americans being presented on the floor of the United States Senate."
If you haven't received the email, I urge you to join John Kerry in this fight:

Kerry reminded his supporters that "They want you to disappear; they are counting on that. I'm confident you will prove them wrong, and you will rewrite history again."
I, too am confident that we, the grassroots activists, will prove them wrong... because "We've still got your back John Kerry" and we're not going to disappear.

This was a powerful letter, I thought. I was immediately encouraged when I read it and of course, I signed the petition right away.
I was encouraged by his mention of election reform. I feel it's the most important issue ever for this country, in light of the Ohio and Florida issues we're seeing.
The line "they want you to disappear" was interesting. I felt that energy so strongly after the election that we added a tshirt to our line that says "Progressive, Proud and Provoked: You didn't think we'd just go away after the election, did you?"
