A note to MoveOn.org.
I joined MoveOn.org in 2003, cynical about politics, doubtful that anything I might do could have any effect. But I wanted to do something about the Iraq war. It was worth a shot.

Over the last five years I've been more and more encouraged by what I've seen us do in MoveOn. I've seen my representatives listen. I've seen my representative change his mind and support net neutraility. I've learned about Maria Cantwell's hard work to stop drilling in the ANWR.

People say Washington is disconnected from the citizens. But we've also been disconnected from our politicians. MoveOn has helped forge a bridge both ways.

Thank you.


I can hear cheering up and down the streets.
