While we didn't end up with the results we wanted on the endorsement, we won on many levels.
This campaign showed that there is a hunger in this state for thoughtful debate, hope, and courage. We helped to bring thousands of new people from all over the state into this process—people who have gained the skills and experience necessary to help carry our country forward.
Any time we advance the debate on the issues that matter to Minnesotans, we elevate the soul of our party and of our state.
Together we challenged the notion that to get here we have to settle for the politics of celebrity and money.
We are more determined than ever to change our state and our nation. We are more determined than ever to face our challenges honestly. We know that when we face our challenges honestly, we will overcome them.
We are more determined than ever to:
We are more determined than ever to defeat Norm Coleman We are more determined than ever to build an historic citizen’s movement. We are more determined than ever to choose hope.
When we choose hope, we will build a better America.
We will end an immoral war that is bankrupting our country.
We will build a national health care system so no one is ever left without health care.
We will build a renewable energy economy
Together we have clearly advanced the citizens movement we've all been talking about and are all a part of. Our movement will defeat John McCain. Our movement will defeat Norm Coleman
We will build a lasting progressive vision for our state and our nation.
Together, we will take our country back.
There's still much work to do. Stay tuned...
