Reply #39: I love having you here and would love it if you would visit from time to time,

but you have a duty, a sacred obligation, to go national. You are our conscience, a conscience once held most recently by such as Molly Ivins but even earlier, held by many of our founding fathers. Yes, Nancy, I am comparing you to our national fathers. You're voice must go beyond this wonderful burg. You must be heard nationally and preferably internationally. It is imperative that I be able to say, "Yeah, I remember when she started out on DU." You are not meant to be here Nance. You should be working directly with our next president or even better, afflicting greatly our next president.

I am not blowing smoke here. Your prodigious talents and moral standing are such that you must go out there and help frame the debate, frame the importance of the most important election in our American History.

You have a solomn duty to speak. You must speak and not just to us. Find a way to be elevated to where you must be. Now, please.
