I Just watched the "Your Stories" video again at JohnKerry.com

[Forever Free]

Its been over a month since the election, but I still get chills whenever I see that video. I saw it the night of November 1st. I watched it again at 3:47 AM this morning and even now it inspired such a wave of optimism and hope once more. That short clip truly exemplifies what John Kerry stood for during the campaign: the American people. It showed what we all already know: that the man is willing to fight for us day in and day out, no matter what. As I watched the video of im standing in the middle of a rural community or a crowded town hall and speak from his heart to all Americans instilled in me a sense of sadness but also one of great admiration as well.

I truly miss seeing him and John Edwards daily on the TV. Luckily, I can find some solace in this wonderful group here at DU. Its such a refreshing oasis from the non-stop Kerry bashing and insane rants againt the DLC and the moderates in the GD.

I view myself as "militantly moderate", willing to defend my common sense and middle of the road position with passion and conviction. I believe that the Senator shares that same conviction. I'll admit that Kerry was an acquired taste, he didn't invoke much passion in me early on. But as I got to know the man during the campaign, I came to respect him deeply. The Senator was the first political candidate I ever voted for. I'm glad I did and will always support the man in whatever endeavors he chooses to pursue.

Kerry on my brothers and sisters, because we must continue to fight the good fight. As Senator Kerry said during his convention speech, "the sun is still rising". Hopefully, we will all be there as a new dawn shines anew for the future of America.

1. Thanks,

I will have to go and watch it. I can't tell you how many times I have watched the post election Kerry video, but I am hesitant to watch the others. We had so much hope....

I love John Kerry. In the early days, I was undecided, and being from CA, we don't have much play in the Primaries. The more I learned about him, the more I grew to support and respect him.

I will support him to my last breath. He was not the first I have supported, but I can say this with all sincerity, he is the first in my lifetime that I have come to love. Well, as much as you can love a person that you have not personally met. Sigh

The sun will rise again on America, and we will be there when it happens.

Keep the faith Kerrycrats

No Retreat No Surrender

2. don't be afraid to watch the old videos

If you are like me, it will make you feel better. The things they were fighting for, they are still going to be fighting for in some way or other, so it made me feel hopeful. I mean, you can just hear the sincerity in JK's and JE's voices, so different than * and his minions, and it gives you hope. I have vhs tapes that I've saved going back to the primaries, the convention, and speeches that were on Cspan, and will be going back to watch now and again.

3. On the other hand, some of our fellow Dems are militantly ignorant

They don't know, and they defend their right not to know with passion and conviction.

I had to "acquire" him too. But now I'm with you. I will support him in his endeavors.
