Bumper stickers count.
Driving into work to day I came up behind a van. Three bumper stickers. The Kerry sticker was recognizable even from a distance. Its the same one we still fly on our vehicles. The other was bold enough lettering that even from distance I could make out HATCH (Mike Hatch, current Minnesota Attorney General, running for Governor).
The third was a mystery until we hit a stoplight and I could see that the sticker read:
What Would Wellstone Do? Accompanying the statement was a simple peace sign.
Some days, driving to work I feel pretty hopeless. Today was one of those days. BushCo** continues to get by with everything imaginable. Iraq in shambles. The after effects of Katrina. The housing bubble only un-popped in the eyes of the seriously deluded. More and more area light industry jobs being outsourced. Serious budget shortfalls and looming cuts at my own non-profit employment. Today was one of those days when I don't feel like my kids have much of a future to look forward to.
That bumper sticker, though, gave me a bit of hope. No, it doesn't solve a damn thing. But, it inspires me to keep thinking/living like Wellstone might. It lets me know that others out there are thinking the same.

.....the "What would Wellstone Do" at least shows someone else is asking the same questions. BTW, :hi: fellow Minnesotan:hi:
