Need a Lift? I Have a Dream, and a Plan... by Brent Budowsky

America stands at the threshold of a new Democratic president, Democratic Congress, FDR-magnitude realignment and a national spirit reminiscent of the New Frontier.

There will be a transformation of American media as powerful as the days when Edward R. Murrow took integrity and quality to broadcast radio and then network television.

By November 2008 there will be a giant mega-move of mutual empowerment and support networks of the progressive Internet, radio and politics that will have extraordinary power to drive ratings, move money and turn out votes.

JFK was right: The presidency is the center of action in America, and imagine the spirit in January 2009 on Inauguration Day with a Democrat putting his or her hand on the Bible, with rejoicing throughout the free world.

If Barack Obama is elected president, he will not only be the first African American president, he will electrify young people throughout America and around the world, and inaugurate a new spirit of community activism and optimism.

If Al Gore is elected, the world’s leading friend of the Earth will empower Americans, mobilizing the highest aspirations of huge numbers of people, through the newest technologies of politics and media. How ennobling that after eight years of Bush the next president could be a Nobel laureate from the conviction politics of the Loyal Opposition.

The same is true if Edwards, Richardson or any leading Democrat is elected. Ignore the commentariat class that opines about the tactics, trivialities and minutiae of insiderism and focus on the powerful change waves that have already begun.

As the sun sets on the Bush years, people will be astonished at the reawakening of the American spirit of optimism, driven by a nobler vision, supported by a vast majority, who want tomorrow to be better than today.

It is time to dream again, to transform the majority of the disillusioned into the majority of the empowered, and begin the next great era of American renewal and reform.

1. Kick. Optimism is good!

2. I'll kick it, but that's way more positive than I can believe right now.

I don't have faith, I have hope, and much too little.
