I wanted to wait to write this note until some of the dust had settled from our loss last week. It was heartbreaking for all of us. It felt like a win was snatched away from us at the last second. All of us were very disappointed in the result but not in the battle.
It is hard to remember right now but we did take Bucks County for John Kerry! We did register many, many new voters who showed up at the polls and stood in long lines to vote! We did have a wonderful “Get Out the Vote” organization with volunteers from all over the country!
Remember, if we were correct in our view that the country would suffer from another four years of George W. Bush, then we will see the problems grow and multiply in the next six months to a year. We know we were right and we must stand ready to pick up the pieces as the economy, healthcare and jobs continue to spiral in the wrong direction.
Our job has not changed; we are still fighting for a better place for our children to live. We still need clean air, clean water, respect in the world, jobs for every person who wants and needs one, decent healthcare, and an education system that makes sense.
Our local organizations have grown and strengthened, let’s not lose the opportunity to build our party and our structures.
This is a very long winded way of saying thank you for everything you did to try to help me win this Congressional seat. You were there for me when I needed you, you showed up, fought the fight and I will never forget your work, your friendship and your support.
I thank you with all my heart.
Love, Ginny
