REAL CHANGE
(not small change)
"We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." What a paragraph! This sparse, 52-word opening of our Constitution did not merely launch a fledgling nation--but a bold experiment in democratic idealism.

Paul wellstone, american hero
Senator Paul Wellstone was more than a progressive Democrat, more than Congress’s most outspoken liberal. He was the embodiment of what the Founding Fathers envisioned for political leaders: a scholar of public policy, a champion of workers and living wages, a staunch protector of the environment, a defender of civil liberties, an outspoken advocate for a single-payer health-care system, a fighter for fair trade, and a tireless voice for peace.
Paul and his wife Sheila were among the earliest supporters of the Rolling Thunder Down-Home Democracy Tour, and we were fortunate to have spent many days together going down the road.
We were blessed with their friendship. We will carry on their battles with conviction and determination. And we will fight to fulfill America’s promise, inspired by the example of their lives, which they ultimately gave while campaigning for the issues they believed in.
Regardless of political party, race, gender, or creed, Paul Wellstone represented each and every one of us—and, no doubt, the world will be a little bit worse off in his absence.
