Drinking with Bill, part two: The speech
I'm a sucker for America. When I hear somebody - even Bush - talk about the promise of a land where people govern themselves, I get excited.
What I can't stand is when people tell me that loving your country means assuming it's perfect. If you truly love your country, you have to be vigilant. You have to take care of it. Every day.
That was the message that CD6 candidate Bill Winter delivered last night to a room of about 25 people. He made flatout the most inspirational speech I have ever heard. Rambling, rough edges and all, Winter reminded us of the promise of America.
Winter has dedicated his life to service. He volunteered for the military. Twice. He gave a up a six-figure salary to teach school. And now he is putting himself on the line to help America get rid of one of the worst congresspeople in its history. He is a person who loves America. And who deserves your support.
TakeBackTheHouse has posted a detailed account of the night over at Soapblox. Go read it. And then go to winterforcongress.com, donate, and volunteer to help Winter win in November. Your country is counting on you.

It is interesting that when I talk to Republicans and find the rare one who is willing to objectively discuss American values [equal opportunity, privacy, patriotism etc] and specific issues, so far 100% agree with progressives. Then I say, "sounds like you are a democrat". That's a stunner to them but serves as just a start to get people thinking. Hopfully people start thinking about American values and vote Winter!
