Some of us who worked as moderators on the Kerry-Edwards blog at johnkerry.com have stayed in touch with John and Teresa. Teresa sent this message to us yesterday and asked us to share with others in the blogosphere.


From Teresa:






A year ago today, many of us were hoping that we would begin to change the course that America was on by electing my husband President of the United States. While we fell short of that goal, I wanted to use this occasion to thank you again.

Words alone cannot express my sincere gratitude for everything you did for John and me. Our campaign was fueled by the energy and enthusiasm of people like you all across America. Your hope and tenacity reaffirmed my belief in this great country of ours.

As I campaigned across the country, I learned so much from each and every person I met. My life was, and forever will be, enriched with the knowledge, resolve and affection that I gained through that experience. And that journey could not have begun or continued without you and others like you--Americans who believe in a better America and a better world.

Your generosity, principle and faith are qualities that I will always cherish, and I will never forget how hard you worked for John and for our country.

Thank you for being part of our lives, and remember, our journey continues. Let's continue to be the saints and keep marching on.

With warm personal regards,

Teresa a/k/a Mamma T.

As Casey points out at the Democracy Cell Project, Teresa is modelling something that more politicians should do.

Thanks for sharing this. It's kind of a tough day, huh? In a similar vein, let me recommend this diary by Carnacki at My Left Wing.

It's just sad (none / 1)
to know that we really did it and how different it could be if we didn't have the culture of corruption that's currently ingrained in the Repub party.

Thanks for the link to MLW.  Would you post a link to the thank you here so they know they're being thanked as well?

She really wanted it to touch everyone who worked on the campaign without making it an official press piece or anything.

Actually, (none / 0)
we did win.  Kerry did not fully support the recounts in Ohio and should never have conceded.
