Left March - Continued

As earlier reported, John Kerry is making a pledge to continue fighting against the current administration, and he’s asking for our help. Sign the petition to co-sponsor a bill that will help provide health care to every child in America. You’ll also have the opportunity to watch a video of Kerry addressing the election and his future plans, including Protect Every Child. I implore you to watch it and throw your support behind him and his plan.

Digby comments:
People have been talking a great deal about behaving as a real opposition party, presenting alternate plans, boldly defining ourselves as a government in exile. This is a smart politics. There is a leadership vacuum in the Party and if John Kerry wants to step in, I say more power to him. But for a few thousand votes in Ohio, we'd be calling him President-elect Kerry today.

This is a classy move from a classy guy. Perhaps that's not in fashion at the moment but
it means a lot to me.
It means a lot to me, too. When I cast my vote for Kerry, I was casting my vote for my vision of America’s future, and I feel tonight like he recognizes that, and he carries our hopes with him. A strong opposition is our mandate, and I hope that Kerry is the man to carry that sizable responsibility.
