In 1984 Marta voted for you in the Ne. Primary. I voted for Mondale. We both voted for you in the 88 primary. To top it off, we took our 3 children to the downtown mall to hear you speak. The next morning as people across the state read the Omaha paper, a photo of you standing next to the podium clearly showed our two grade school daughters standing next to you. A very beautiful rainbow coalition picture worth a thousand words. We still talk about that from time to time.

Then came a let down in 2005. You traveled to meet with Terri Schiavo's parents. We were for death with dignity. It was the first time we ever felt you let us down. It has left us with a bad after taste that has lingered.

Then tonight a nation saw much of the old magic that brought you so close to the nomination in 88. Speaking of workers rights, with so much for ALL America hanging in the balance. Any bad taste has been FULLY wiped away.

Even though you never left the minds of many, a middle class that is on the ropes will remember this night. Remember it until the young students standing up for their future around you in Madison tonight have left the face of the earth. Our family knows this. Just ask our daughters.

In solidarity,

1. I heard Jackson is going to the Republic of Ireland

to be sure their election is democratic, not sure if it's true?
