One of the things I love about NH–I get stuff I want without spending too darn much. Just for example, here’s part of the menu of Manchester’s Goldenrod Restaurant and Drive-In.
And, just for example, my blogfriend Critt drove all the way up from Boston to Nashua last Thursday night. He wanted to see Howard Dean. He was hoping his dream for our nation’s political future could maybe come true. And he too was not disappointed in New Hampshire. Just a short quote from his first-person account of meeting Howard Dean at a NH “Meetup.”
I chose to listen well, rather than attempt to take detailed notes. I’m a blogger, thus I’ll leave voice transcription processing to the pros. Surely a full transcript will become available? But, I will tell you something now – some things I learned and felt from tonight’s meeting.
It is time for us to stop temporizing and compromising.
We are tired of being divided by race.
We are tired of being divided by income.
We are tired of being divided by gender.
We are tired of being divided by sexual orientation.
We are tired of being divided.Howard Dean’s Call to Action is about giving you, giving me, a reason to stand up for what we believe in….Howard Dean is resolute. And, you know what?
So am I.
Go, resolute Critt! Go, Howard Dean!
And (woo hoo!) I am tired but resolute too!
