COURAGE, HOPE, POLITICAL ACTIVISM

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert Kennedy
 
Larkspur used these words as inspiration for her Blog in November 2004 and I repeat them here, today, as Howard Dean is elected by acclimation chair of the DNC.  Today, this week, in the last few months, diverse acts are building to bring a true Democrat to the office of junior Senator from Connecticut.
