• who still doubts

  • this is really neat
• who still wonders
• who still questions

  • doubts, wonders, questions

• "It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and  Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight,  disabled and not disabled, Americans who sent a message to the world that we  have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states  and blue states.
• built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give  5 and 10 and 20 to the cause
• grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's  apathy
• It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and  scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of  Americans who volunteered and organised and proved that more than two centuries  later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not  perished from the Earth

  • I'm curious where this quote came from
• two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
