I am so very sorry that we are not greeting a new "Beautiful Day" under your stepfather's leadership. I hope this is really you and I trust it is. Your step into DU and statement of thanks means the world to many of us. We feel so cut off from the reality of our great country right now.

We look forward to hearing more from Democratic Leaders including John Kerry in the coming days. He is handling himself with remarkable poise and class. I am sure this will engender good will across this country as he continues as a great Senator for Massachusettes.

Please pass along our warm greetings and heartfelt appreciation to John Kerry, your mother, Theresa, JOhn Edwards and his wife. Thanks also to your siblings and to John Edwards' daughter.

I live in Oregon. We did what we could to make this a Blue America....but we clearly have much to overcome.

thank you!!!!!!!
