Get Inspired : Dean envisions “The Great American Restoration”

The text of Howard Dean’s presidential campaign kick-off speech, titled The Great American Restoration, is already online, and it’s an inspiring read. No matter where your loyalties lay, it’s worth a look. My favorite bit…
“Our President and too many in Washington are giving away our future so that we pass to our children not a flickering flame of freedom � but the chain of insurmountable debt.
No parent would do this � and America must not do this.
And so for me the long journey of a Presidential campaign has begun with the people I have met affecting me far more than any affect I may have had on them. And because of that, the reasons why I seek the Presidency have changed.
This campaign is about more than issue differences on health care, tax cuts, national security, jobs, the environment and our economy. It is about something as important as our children. It�s about who we are as Americans.
Here are the words of John Winthrop: �We shall be as one. We must delight in each other, make other�s conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always living before our eyes our Commission and Community in our work.�
It is that ideal, the ideal of the American community, that we seek to restore.”
